A compilation of sights and incidents of the Graf Zeppelin 's tour around the world.

We see the passengers in the Graf Zeppelin 's dining room enjoying music from a phonograph while looking out on floating clouds and the shimmering sea. A narrator describes what happened on the world tour aboard the dirigible and the experiences of the passengers going through an electric storm over the Pacific. At the end of the voyage, Lady Drummond Hay, the only woman aboard, talks about her experiences while traveling on the craft.
