M/S of the crowd in front of the bank. Cut to a face of a John D Rockefeller in a suit. Voice-over concludes: "yes, when and if you know how, you too, can become a millionaire."
Various shots of building sites and street markets - good New York street scenes. In 1932 power to administer the wealth lagged far behind the ability to produce it.
L/S of a crowded New York streets where police and ambulance attend to dead and dying - victims of a gang warfare. L/S of a police car with bullet holes and broken back window. People are around the car and a dead body covered with the sheet lies next to it. Cut to the police pushing people back from the crime scene.

In 1932 the bootlegging and crime were triggered by Depression. Various shots of fuming factories. Several shots of the openings of factory gates, workers leaving factory and gates closing. Due to Depression, even those with jobs are often unsatisfied. When their demands are not met, they react by organising strikes and riots.
Shots of masses of workers demonstrating and the strike-leader speaking are juxtaposed with the shots of the opposite gathering where angry politician proposes drastic measures in fight against communists.
Various shots displaying the power of the US (United States) army. Line of trucks, cars, troops with guns marching. Army clashes with workers. Various shots depicting riots: gun shots, smoke, fires, stones. In the 1932 in the great industrial centres things did not go too well.
Things did not go well in the countryside either. Shots of plants and animals suffering from pollutants and paying the price of the industrialisation. Because of the ruthless timber felling and unplanned agriculture, topsoil has been blown away or washed off millions of acres. Shots of dead cattle, deserted land, corn fields dying. Farmers have no choice but to leave the dying land. "They call them 'Oakies', displaced farmers, migrant workers". Several shots of farmers packing up and leaving.
