Citizens and soldiers of the Phillipines celebrate their full independence from the United States with a parade. Several planes fly over the parade. Manuel Roxas takes the oath of office. Douglass MacArthur delivers a heartfelt message. In the next newsreel, Larry Hightower, "Famous Wheel Barrow Pusher," pushes his wheel barrow across a variety of terrain as part of his journey around the world. To cool off, he rubs snow on his face and feet in the Cascade Mountains.
