In Germany, the Communist Party (KPD) marches strong despite police harassment, while in the Soviet Union, radio broadcasts reach even Magnitogorsk. A nomadic family on the steppe near the city is drawn to the sound of iron ore being blasted for the steelworks. Stop-motion animation shows the bountiful production of tractors and freight cars of the future. A new blast-furnace is built, with women, ethnic minorities, and a nomad among the workers, supervised by an English-speaking engineer and mentored by an experienced riveter. In the Kubass region, miners labor to produce coal that becomes coke in Magnitogorsk. With the blast-furnace complete, workers celebrate, singing a cheerful patriotic song, and the new day reveals a finished steel plant.
