Show moreFilm educating viewers on the importance of donating to the United Fund of Allegheny County. A man responsible for collecting United Fund donations at his workplace complains about having to give and solicit for money. He's suddenly visited by a messenger from Hell who convinces him not to collect for the fund, arguing that the United States was founded on the "every man for himself" principle. The messenger then gleefully shows the man the various institutions, organizations, and people that will suffer without donations, and the man changes his mind. The messenger then reveals himself to be from Heaven, not Hell, and says he was sent to correct the man's negative attitude towards donating. "Help them All...all at once."

Penn at Reading, Penna., and reaching the crest they saw a beautiful panorama of 200 years of American Life laid before them. It sure had the appearance of miniatures at 800 ft. above sea level. Laurence said to his brother Paul, 'Let us start to build little houses as they look from here to tell the life of the individual home life of America to the coming generations.' After all these years as a hobby, Roadside America is credited as a shrine to American Life the world over. Be prepared to see more than you expect. You will be amazed.
