Tar is produced in Pražská obecní plynárna (the Prague Municipal Gasworks). As a side product of the production process we get coke and gas. On the gasworks yard we can see barrels containing tar to be used for civil engineering. We can see a laboratory worker in a laboratory inspecting the produced tar with the help of various measuring devices. Barrels containing tar are loaded on ČSD (the Czechoslovak State Railways) wagons; we can see a train leaving the gasworks. In Dejvice, on the Vítězné Square, we can watch people at asphalt work. In gravel quarry in Pecerady a worker is working with a pneumatic drill. A lorry loaded with a mixture of gravel and tar is leaving the gasworks. The mixture is to be used for road construction, which is also shown in the film later on (road construction in Dejvice, Prague). Road surface is then levelled by a steam roller. Then we can see a film shot presenting the Městská spořitelna pražská (The Prague City Savings Bank), asphalt work in the Štěpánská Street, Dům U hybernů (the Hybern House). At the end of the film there is the Favorit Film logo presented to the film viewers.
