This film promotes the adoption of children orphaned by World War One. The viewer is shown the farm, called "Vimy Ridge" and located near Guelph, Ontario, where the Soldiers' Aid Commission, Child Welfare Branch send children up to age sixteen in the summer. The film shows children playing and dancing. It emphasizes the discipline and orderliness of the farm, showing children cleaning before inspection. It also shows the "healthy recreation" the children take part in, including boys playing soccer and boxing, girls playing baseball, and both attending picnics, excursions and bonfires.~Some of the farm activities the children take part in include feeding chickens, taking a wagon ride and feeding a cow.
