One model shows the hall in detail, and another shows it in the context of the rest of the Civic Center development plans as well as pre-existing parts of downtown. In addition to shots of downtown and the construction in the Civic Center, one of the Boblo Boats and one of the Chicago, Duluth, and Georgian Bay Transit Company boats are shown docked on the riverfront in one shot.
The second part of the film deals with banking in Detroit. The part of the production opens with shots of banks around downtown, including the exterior of the Penobscot Building with the City Bank signs in frame, the Detroit Bank and Trust Company, Manufacturer's National Bank at 151 Fort Street, the Bank of the Commonwealth Building (formerly/later the Dime Building), and the First National Building with National Bank of Detroit signage. The film then takes us inside of an unidentified bank where it shows up both the bankers and tellers in the lobby, as well a women working on machines behind the scenes.
The next stretch of the film relies on the device of following a couple who is opening their first checking account with a bank. The narrator talks about the benefits of checking. The couple are shown meeting a banker, visiting the vault, and seeing their safe deposit box. The film then shows how checks are processed, a process that includes microfilming, automatic punch card machines, telegraph machines, and automatic typewriters.
The film then focuses on the benefits of the banks to the city. First the narrator discusses the role of banks as employers. Home loans are then linked to home ownership in Detroit in a sequence that features shots of residential streets. Loans are also explained to be a boon to businesses; this part is supplemented by a shot of a commercial stretch including a Beck Shoes and an S.S. Kresge Company store. Public bonds and public works projects are also covered with shots of freeway construction, schools, and Grace Hospital. A brief discussion of Industrial financing is likewise accompanied by shots of factories.
After a brief segment about the convenience of neighborhood bank branch offices and their drive-up windows, the film begins a concluding segment about banking in Detroit. This portion includes shots of several large homes, a street with a Kroger, Sidders, and Winkelman's, footage of Eastland Center during its construction, a car dealership lot, and the beginning of the construction of the National Bank of Detroit Building with City Hall still standing on the background.
