Soldiers, with the 1919 U.S. Army Motor Transport convoy on their intercontinental journey across America, offload a Holt tractor from the back of a truck, near North Platte, Nebraska. Other trucks of the convoy are passing in the background. Soldiers help straighten the path of a truck being pulled from the mud. The Holt tractor maneuvers and uses a chain to pull a truck out of the mud. The truck is decorated with American flags. Soldiers hook up a chain to another truck stuck in mud. It also displays several American flags. The Holt tractor struggles in attempts to free the truck, but is later seen pulling it successfully along the muddy road. The Holt tractor pulls several trucks, chained in a line behind it, on the muddy road. The last of the trucks displays an Army Corps of Engineers logo and a sign reading,"We need 6000 men. Be one."
