Your Town: A Story of America (1940)

Tribute to the strengths of the American system of free enterprise, funded by a large manufacturers' association. Young Jerry, who stops to observe a rowdy labor action at a local factory, is almost drawn into a brawl but for a policeman who takes him into "protective custody" and drives him home. There, Gramp explains how every man, woman and child in town has a stake in the factory's success, and convinces Jerry that modern capitalism isn't all bad.
