Film begins with film footage of a major intersection in Suva, Fiji, with the narrator explaining that here all the races of the South Pacific can be seen. Stinson proceeds to interview the "man on the street" followed by a visit to the Suva market (breadfruit, taro and Tongan baskets), viewing unloading the boat Komaiwai at portside and listening to two songs sung by the shipmates of the boat Tuveuni. ("We Live in Suva Today" is first song.)
