The film begins with a voice reading couplets from the Bay State Primer, followed by a visual alphabet composed of street and shop signs. The alphabet is gradually replaced with new images, each letter replaced by a different scene, such as a man painting a wall, a woman speaking, or a clementine being peeled. As each letter is replaced, the previous images progress in action. The film ends with a long shot of a couple and their dog walking into the woods, accompanied by six women reciting Grosseteste's "On Light, or the Ingression of Forms" to a rhythm.
