The film was made by the War Finance Division of the U.S. Treasury Department. The film shows battered U.S. Navy planes returning to an aircraft carrier after missions against the Japanese. In some cases their pilots and gunners and wounded. Some aircraft barely make it back, slamming into the deck, crashing or falling overboard. The film emphasizes the high cost in men and planes paid by the U.S. Navy in the Pacific Campaign, to try to demonstrate to viewers why they should be purchasing war bonds. The narration concludes, "we can't put a value on a man's life but we can make sure that all of our pilots have the best tools to fight" by buying war bonds. "Only then is our mission completed." 0:23-0:33: The film describes a mission where 60 planes, carrying 100 men, take off from an aircraft carrier to blast and burn a target 400 miles away. 0:40-1:07: The crew anxiously waits for the planes to return, hoping that all 100 men will come back safely. 1:10-2:04: As the planes start returning, some damaged, the crew rushes to assist, and some pilots are injured. 2:11-2:49: The film shows various planes returning, some damaged, with pilots receiving medical attention. 2:59-3:22: The film concludes with a message about the cost of the planes and pilot training, emphasizing the importance of buying war bonds to support the war effort.
