This amateur film footage is part 3 of Mr Till's tour of Canada and the US; here he arrives in Seattle briefly (perhaps to refuel), moving onto Portland and then more aerial shots. He visits the International Exposition in San Francisco; the gardens and exhibits are busy. A large crowd gathers to watch a band; the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge is in the background. Till has also captured lots of incidental footage of American people relaxing. The exhibits from other nations are evident. Till flies to Los Angeles and Boulder Dam; Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Much of the travel takes place by plane. In New York, from the vantage point of a skyscraper, views of the city are seen (the Empire State Building is under construction). Cherbourg Harbour is arrived at by ship (there is a submarine in the bay); Till captures the unloading of various cargo on the dockside. England is sighted from the bows of the ship. An intertitle says 'The End'.
