"THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEN'S CLUBS IS TRACED FROM KING ARTHUR TO THE PRESENT TIME. HISTORICAL FACTS MIXED WITH HUMOROUS BITS IN AN INSPIRING & ENLIGHTENING PICTURE."
A film about the history of men's clubs, good fellowship and civic responsibilities. Strangely, no specific tie-in to Chevrolet.
Recreated sequence of King Arthur, Knights of the Round Table and Merlin. Trying to find out why and when men first got together. Recreation of Greek symposia and Roman baths. "Every time the smoke of battle, hate and envy blows away, man's vision is again cleared; once more his neighbor is his brother."
