The show starts with a two-minute look at a new 'March Of Time' movie called 'Inside Nazi Germany, 1938.' Here's what's covered: Someone stole $84,000 from the Department Of The Interior through a fake C.C.C. camp that ran for four years. A 'Mercy Murder' case sparks talk about making 'euthanasia laws' legal. A seal shows up in Haywood, California. Emperor Hirohito says prayers for peace. An Eastern Airlines plane goes missing over New Jersey but finally lands safely in Hartford, Connecticut. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt cuts her hair short in a new bob style.

The March of Time is an American newsreel series sponsored by Time Inc. and shown in movie theaters from 1935 to 1951. It was based on a radio news series broadcast from 1931 to 1945 that was produced by advertising agency Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBDO). The "voice" of both series was Westbrook Van Voorhis. Produced and written by Louis de Rochemont and his brother Richard de Rochemont, The March of Time was recognized with an Academy Honorary Award in 1937.
