Synopsis

A Ford Motor Company portrait of Detroit in 1920: the riverfront and harbor, downtown traffic and double-deck buses, factories and workers, banks, churches, parks and the crowds at Belle Isle. Intertitles recount the city's history, boast of its population and wealth, and urge residents to keep spending to avoid a depression.
