A bunch of good actors do a nice little uplifting-yet-nourish film about life, faith and the American Way (the old version) in a film produced by the American Petroleum Institute. Features Regis Toomey, Daryl Hickman, Rhys Williams, James Bell, Elisabeth Risdon, Ted De Corsia, and Frank Darien in another of those odd commercial-industrial films that have fallen through the cracks but were good extra paychecks for a lot of working actors in those days:

Not a bad little industrial at that, either. Assistant director Eddie Santa served the same function on a number of late Columbia two-reelers, often with The Three Stooges (he was the A.D. on the 3-D SPOOKS shortly after this).

Well, you noticed that this was a Screen Gems Production, this was shot at Columbia.
