Lindbergh stands in front of the plane, The Spirit of St. Louis. Men push the small plane back onto the runway. The plane is surrounded by people. Lindbergh shakes hands with other pilots for a photo, and another man fills the plan with fuel from barrels. The monoplane takes a bumpy takeoff. Newsprint machines turn out papers. Paper boys collect bushels of news and load them onto trucks. Shots of the plane in flight, and people looking up from farm fields. A Nova Scotia fisherman looks up at the plane. A radio tower followed by a hand working a telegraph.
