Reel 1:
Segment 1 (silent): Appears to be a police academy graduation, outdoors.
Segment 2 (color, silent): A United Airlines jet plane interior is stripped and readied for cargo instead. Cargo is loaded, then the plane takes off.
Segment 3 (sound): Man interviewed about kids' baseball camp at Washington Park in Santa Clara.
Reel 2:
Segment 1 (sound): The four women on trial for anti-napalm demonstrations (the "Napalm Ladies") confer with their attorney outside the courtroom at Municipal Court. Joyce McLean is interviewed and begins, "Yes, we don't know what the judge will say, but we cannot in all honesty accept probation; we will not pay a fine." Reporter asks if they continue their demonstrations. "We certainly do. We plan to continue as long as napalm is there and as long as we continue to do the horrible things we're doing in Vietnam." Reporter asks the rest of the defendants if they agree, and they nod and say yes. Silent footage of people filing into the courtroom, followed by a cut to interview with Beverly Farquharson after the session. She is asked, "Are you satisfied with the outcome today? Is it what you expected?" She answers, "No, of course it wasn't what we expected, but nothing in law ever is I suppose." "What do you plan to do now?" "Well, I think we'll have to discuss it with our friends, and with our families in particular as to what we should do next. Because it's not up to us really, to make the decision unilaterally." "Is this an immediate discussion?" "I think so." "Do you have your eye on more demonstrations in the next week? Will you wait two years?" "We don't have to wait two years to demonstrate. What we were asked to do was not to break any laws for that two-year period."
Segment 2 (silent): Short clip of two male defendants entering a courtroom. [These men were seen in an earlier day's clip being escorted out of a county judicial building]
Segment 3 (silent): Baseball camp for kids. Footage of kids practicing sliding into base in a grassy area.
Reel 3:
Segment 1 (sound): Man interviewed about an apparent medical incident at a jail in a "stripped" cell. He explains what a stripped cell is.
Segment 2 (silent): Miss California beauty pageant in Santa Cruz. Contestants are seen in their formal gowns on the runway; one twirls a metal hoop wearing a sequinned leotard, another plays guitar; Miss San Mateo walks in her gown.
Reel 4:
Segment 1 (silent): Automotive Machinists Lodge 1305 members on strike outside the Greyhound bus station in San Jose.
Segment 2 (sound): Two women being interviewed regarding the issue with Maurice Hardeman on the Santa Clara County primary ballot. The first woman says that a memorandum has been filed but they don't have a copy of it yet. They are waiting to find out if there will be restraint put on canvassing of Hardeman votes. She says their view and their hope is that a form of temporary restraint will be issued on the canvassing of votes for Mr. Hardeman in order to give all parties time to have a full scale hearing in the Supreme Court. The second woman says that she hadn't given it much thought before the election because "we believed the community knew he was a convicted felon." Of course the problem arose after the balloting was taken and "we are now assured that he placed first, and the problem is now before us and [we need] to solve it in the legal manner."
