Three subjects are covered by Signal Corps cameramen in Germany and Korea. The first, "Berlin MP Patrol," takes place one hundred miles deep in the Soviet zone of Germany. Here, every day, one finds a silent but ceaseless struggle for supremacy between our way of life and the slave state way. From free Berlin, the camera moves westward to the next picture story. The locale is the "Rhine Engineer Depot," most modern of its kind in Europe, located on the outskirts of Kaiserslauten, Germany. For the last story, THE BIG PICTURE camera crews film Army light planes in operation in Korea. The scene is the Eighth Army Airstrip. Just as in the Korean War when it performed many key jobs, the light plane still plays an important role today.

In "Soldier in Hawaii," the producers of the Army's six year old TV series examine the varied activities and responsibilities of a hard-hitting military force in Hawaii. Ground forces like the 25th "Tropic Lightning" Infantry Division have been pulled back to Hawaii from more forward areas in the Pacific to meet any sudden emergency and be airlifted to any trouble spot. In an interview with Governor Samuel King, the role of the National Guard in the defense picture of the islands is spelled out. As an illustration of the above, the filming of these Guardsmen on maneuvers, simulating combat conditions, is particularly exciting and adds much to this program.

"A pictorial report on the nation's capital. A look at a side of the nation's capital that the tourists seldom see as they pass through. There is a concert in the inner courtyard of the Pentagon with the United States Army Band, featuring PFC Steve Lawrence, and a tour of the famous five-sided building along the Potomac. The story of soldiers on duty in the Pentagon and assigned to Headquarters Company, United States Army, Fort Myer, Virginia. Written by Dan Klugherz and directed by Don Livingston, it examines the varied jobs of the men and women in uniform and the unique experience of being a part of the life of this great city. Featured in the leading role of this film is PFC Edward Griffiths, a former drama student at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Since the soldier on duty in Washington must also follow a monthly training schedule as well as perform his assigned tasks in the Pentagon, the writer has included field training sequences in the picture as well as a troop information program tour of the famous Civil War battlefield -- Manassas or Bull Run. More familiar to the visitor will be scenes of the First Battle Group, Third Infantry, frequently referred to as 'The Old Guard.
