action
The journalist Vince is talking to some people in a bar about conscription in the USA. None of those present can get used to Vince's statements, on the contrary, there is a complete aversion to general conscription. The manufacturer Sylvester vehemently refuses to convert his company to armaments in the event of war; The rancher Mulfory is dissatisfied with the government's domestic policy; One MP complains that the armament is at the expense of taxpayers. So everyone present has only harsh criticism for the government in general and armament in particular. Finally the mysterious Mr. Ohman (pronounced omen) speaks up. He talks about how the United States, and therefore those present, could fare if all Americans agreed. While Ohman was still speaking, the first special reports appeared on television. Alaska and California are attacked by a foreign power, atomic bombs are dropped, and San Francisco falls into the hands of the conquerors. Any resistance is broken with brutal force; Looting and rape are the order of the day. The US Army stands in the way of the intruders, but has no chance against the overwhelming odds. The New York skyscrapers are being destroyed by bombs; the enemy has brought the USA into his hands - the people in the bar wake up from their trance. Ohman let them experience how defenseless they would be against an attacker. As they set off, the bargoers have fundamentally changed their views on armaments and conscription.
Reviews
“A film that aims to increase the will of the American people to fight and portrays the horror of a communist invasion from the coldest period of the Cold War. Naively assembled from newsreel reports, with the aim of strengthening awareness of dangers. Still worth seeing today, as a document of the exploitation of emotions for the purpose of the anti-communist witch hunt. "
