This film shows how power is extracted from a mountain stream and converted into electricity. It shows this same mountain stream through its various courses from one lake to another, until at last it reaches the great Salt Sea. From there its waters are converted into rock salt, which is refined and finally goes to the dinner table where the man who planned the harnessing of this mountain stream quarrels with his sweetheart, caused by his upsetting the salt cellar and the old tradition of throwing salt over the shoulder is introduced in order to end the quarrel. The spectator is taken from the waterfall in the mountain up to the building of the dam, the harnessing of the stream by wooden troughs carried miles over the mountains where it is converted into electric power.
