A telephone call from Vancouver, British Columbia to Plymouth, England is traced over the Rockies, through Winnipeg and Montreal's Bell Building at 620 Belmont, to Drummondville. At Drummondville the call is hurled by beam wireless to Baldock, England. It is then passed through London to Plymouth.~The speech, carried by radio waves across the Atlantic, is "scrambled" or rendered unintelligible. For the first time on any film, speech before and after passing through the "scrambler" is recorded on the sound track. <9mn 35s>
