The life of a mechanic in a small Ohio town. The film states that the machine is the chief single item of modern civilization and the mechanic, therefore, occupies a useful position in any community. We see Diesel engines being made in the local factory and in the foundry the making of steel. A conference between labor and management works out details of a job. We see the mechanic at home and on a Sunday outing to visit his parents in the country. (1950 NYU Film Library catalog)
