The complete process of glass making is shown in detail in the film, from the sand hills of the far North to the gleaming, smooth glass articles ready for ret sinc iahold the Dominion. Supporting items are "Preparing the Baths" for the Empire Games, and "Factory Kindergarten," -which shows how an Auckland factory has established a kindergarten for the children of mothers employed there.
