Summary
Flashback to December 1941 when a two-man Japanese submarine was washed ashore near Pearl Harbour. The same submarine on tour of USA raising money for War Bonds, people look around and inside it. Japanese flag captured by President Roosevelt’s son Major James Roosevelt, on a raid, is displayed to the President who refuses to touch it. General Sherman tanks in action on testing grounds. Along the American coast wooden houses that look innocent enough have roof that slides back to reveal hidden anti-aircraft emplacement. Barns and hay-stacks part to show more weapons.
