A series of dramatized stories about Canada's war effort.~A dramatized story of the building of the Alcan Skyway and Highway as told through the eyes of a young american reporter who had been invalided out of the navy at Pearl Harbor. Parts of The Spell of the Yukon by Robert Service are incorporated into the story.~The most dramatic portion concerns the building of radio beam stations to guide American planes across the north to Alaska.~Ray Watts and Lee Ch'u, two Americans who witnessed the bombing of Pearl Harbor and who are now working on the Alcan Highway are interviewed in Edmonton. Watts describes the Pearl Harbor attack, the element of surprise and the feelings of outrage and anger which followed it. Ch'u says Pearl Harbor sparked his desire to work toward winning the war and that is why he is on the highway. He praises his Canadian co-workers.~Watts, on Canadian/American friendship, says: "... a highway of confidence (has been built) ..."~Adviertisements for War Savings Bonds and Certificates are heard during the program.
