Advertising film for Philips Radio. German voice-overs and intertitles.
 
This film opens with shots of the manufacturing process for radio tubes. Then we hear from radio reporters across Europe offering news, including the visit of Henry Ford to the Philips factories in Eindhoven, sporting events, and a song by the French actress Mistinquett. Attention is also paid to radio traffic at sea: a ship reports difficulties, and a rescue operation follows. 
 
The film ends with some futuristic images from the Philips laboratory, and an application of one of the many Philips inventions: electric welding.
