Description

Passengers disembark from a Pan Am plane, and tourists take in the sights of New York, including the Statue of Liberty, by boat tour. Picnic scenes in Catoctin Mountain park. There are shots of suburban areas from the perspective of a moving car, and visitors look at the attractions in a shopping area, which include Madame Tussauds, a cinema, and a street artist. After a visit to a supermarket, scenes include children playing in a river, a man water-skiing, views of a suburban street, and a wedding party emerging from a church. At Niagara Falls, visitors view the waterfalls and take boat trips.
