	Description:	Men working to build harbour. Bridges are built. Baskets carried on heads, rails carried on heads and railroad built. Gangs of workers crowded on to open top train. White bosses in safari hats. Top shot of the pay day queue - crowds of men crushed together. Market set up in front of queue. Shovelling earth with mechanical digger. Quarries. Explosives laid and rocks blown up. Freight train carries stone to build the harbour. Men carry pieces of stone on their heads. Daquarare (?) hospital, water tower, railway station, roads. Breakwater stretches out to sea. Top shot of the harbour. Sea crashing against the rocks of the harbour. Shots of ships at the quay side. "Englishmen and Gold Coast workers toil together to produce cocoa and chocolate" the narrator tells us. Sacks of cocoa on conveyor belt. Cans on a conveyor belt. Child on a beach. "The End".
