Factory workers make Christmas crackers, a process
that is shown in detail. Girls are shown making the stockings on sewing
machines. A woman operates the machine that makes the tum-tums (the cards at
the center of the crackers). A man operates a machine that prepares the paper
that makes up the body of the cracker. A man at a band saw cuts out paper caps.
A woman folds and glues together the paper caps. Two women put together and
pack the crackers. Finally, a family is shown at Christmas. Mother and children
dance around the Christmas tree. Father and grandfather stand close by. Father
tosses a box of crackers into the air, and the children gather them off the
floor. There's a gigantic cracker on top of the tree. Father takes it down and
has two of the children pull it apart. In a puff of smoke, Santa Claus emerges
from it and hands out gifts to the children.
