Documentary film on the vital communication network provided and maintained by the Bell Telephone System. Film sequences depict various instances where telephone communications play an indispensible role, among them: scenes at the New York Central marshalling yard in Cleveland Ohio where computers control switching and train movement; sales received by telephone at Cleveland's Republic Steel Mill; receiving shipment details at a steel pipe manufacturing plant; the manned space flight centre in Houston, Texas with clips of spacecraft launchings; a Daffodil Festival in Tacoma, Washington where newsmen report and relay the story over news wire services; a television program being filmed and broadcast from NBC studios in New York and later relayed over national television by Bell System microwave towers; a pregnant woman who phones her family before leaving for the hospital; and telephone messages being dispatched from central offices to regulate the flow of gas through pipelines across the United States. Additional sequences on Bell repairmen in Chicago checking supplies and equipment during a thunderstorm. <25mn 41s>
