Earthlings chafe at the peace established by a benevolent alien race and set about to rebel.

Tim is a brand-new locomotive fresh from the workshop, featuring an innovation called roller bearings. These axles use spinning cylinders to reduce friction and wear. Sent to the yard where his Uncle Smedley works, Tim learns about Kid Friction, a menace who grinds metal against metal and causes overheated bearings called hotboxes. On his first job, Tim is stopped cold and sent to the sheds. When Kid Friction strikes again, Tim and his roller bearings are ready to stop him.

This documentary short film is intended to instruct U.S. Navy pilot trainees in the proper preparation of their airplane and their equipment prior to flight. A chief flight instructor demonstrates the correct method of holding, carrying, and wearing the parachute, but Mac, a trainee who thinks he has all the answers already, fails to pay attention and finds himself in deep trouble. Lt. Taylor, another instructor, shows a more attentive pilot trainee through the process of inspection of the plane and engine. But for every step this trainee learns well, Mac is elsewhere showing what can happen when one doesn't pay attention.

This documentary short film is one of a series of U.S. Navy training films instructing new pilots on flight technique. In this, an instructor lectures (with live and animated film footage) pilot trainees on the initial techniques of maintaining proper aircraft attitude while in flight. Straight and level flying, climbing, turning, gliding, and slow flying all require the plane to maintain the correct physical attitude, and proper methods and the possibility of mistakes are demonstrated.

In this government documentary short film, a Navy lieutenant explains the proper procedures for standard "stall" landings. Illustrating the nose-up attitude of a proper landing by means of footage of birds landing in a similar attitude, the instructor points out how wind direction is vital to landing decisions. Warnings against both "ballooning" (allowing the nose to come up too high before the plane is close enough to the ground) and "landing into the ground" (allowing the plane to lose lift before it is in the proper three-point landing attitude) follow, as well as instructions for keeping one's attention moving constantly in order to take in all variables.

In this government documentary short film for the U.S. Navy, pilot trainees are instructed in the basics of take-off preparation, including the plane captain's inspection and the checklists of notations from prior flights of the same aircraft. Instructor Lt. Taylor gives one trainee a lesson in the aerodynamics of wing construction and how airflow creates lift on the wings when the engine propels it through the air.

In this continuation of a prior government documentary short film, a pilot trainee continues his first flight instruction. His instructor demonstrates the use of ailerons, elevators, and rudder to control the plane in banks and turns, and illustrates the necessity of using them simultaneously in a coordinated manner. Occasionally, a less attentive pilot, McDribble, is shown failing properly to execute the maneuvers in the prescribed manner.
