- Narrator: A solid gold Cadillac. Well, what else can you give a girl who has everything?
- [first lines]
- Narrator: [voice over] Ladies and gentlemen, in this country today, more people are investing in the stock market than ever before. I imagine, some of you folks own stock in one company or another, but for those of you who don't, I better explain a couple of things.
- Narrator: [voice over continues as a camera pans from the top to the bottom of a skyscraper's exterior] This building is owned by a very rich company called International Projects Limited.
- Narrator: [voice over continues as the camera focuses on a young woman walking down the hall inside the building] This young lady is a typical stockholder on her way to attend the annual stockholders meeting. If the stockholders cannot attend in person, they can mail in their proxies designating the management or some other person to vote for them. It is to the small stockholders, the backbone of American industry, that this story is dedicated. In a moment, you'll see how a typical stockholders meeting operates.
- Narrator: [voice over continues as the Board executive files into the board room one by one] The officers of the company are now entering the meeting room. They are: Alfred Metcalfe, Vice-President - I wouldn't trust him with a quarter; Clifford Snell, Vice-President and Treasurer - him I wouldn't trust with a dime; this gentleman is the new head of the company, John T. Blessington, President and Chairman of the Board - him, not a nickel; Warren Gillie, Vice-President and Secretary - this crook, even the other three don't trust; and Edward L. McKeever, Founder of International Projects. He's a very honest man. In fact, he's so honest he doesn't even have the stock. And now, the meeting is about to begin.
