An uncomplicated film explaining what is done before a commercial airliner (United Airlines) leaves the airport. A short portion at the end is taken up with a private plane. There are some nice shots in this typical Encyclopaedia Britannica short. Silent footage is edited together, with James A. Brill's narration and various sound effects binding it together. It make make you misty-eyed the days before security scans and long waits to get on a plane.
