A history of the Canadian credit union movement. The world of the credit union movement is explored through the eyes of a western farm community's initiative to form one. Other groups in Canada involved in this type of cooperation are looked at and the experiences of pioneers in the movement are examined. An animated sequence shows the preparations required for starting a credit union. Footage includes: a western farmer discussing his financial problems; a speech by J.B. MacDonald; the Caisse Populaire de Lévis; the Pan-Canadian Credit Union Conference of 1943; a speech by Roy F. Brigengrand; Dr. M.M. Coady speaking with students in his office; various signs identifying various Canadian cooperative enterprises; and Alphonse Desjardins. <17mn 22s>
