Universal Newspaper Newsreel title card reads, "Speeds through air in rocket airplane / Fritz von Opel, millionaire daredevil, foes one and a quarter miles in flying inferno. / Frankfort, Germany" Fritz and other men are seen attaching the rocket to rails. Title reads, "Repeated trials fail to lift it off the ground." and there are two shots, first from the front and then from the side, of the plane firing on the rails and immediately skidding onto the ground. Title reads, "Finally, with a tremendous roar, the plane rises and dashes into space." and the plane is seen rocketing from the rails and flying a short distance, not to space, before the scene ends. Title reads, "Mussolini reviews Metropolitan Police / City's 'Finest' turn out for Premier in biggest annual inspection in history." Police are seen marching and then Mussolini is shown on stage rising is right hand in the air. Police then pass by on bikes, motorcycles, and then some go by with police dogs on leashes. Title then reads, "Riot squads in their emergency 'wagons'" and a shot of police ridding in large trucks is shown. Mussolini then walks in front of the policemen lined up and gives a medal to one policeman. The whole police force, from a shot at the top of the grand stands, marches in unison across the field as the camera pans across their movement.
