This untitled, color, silent film is a compilation of raw footage and outtakes captured as part of a Socony-Vacuum Oil Company promotional film as well as home footage of travels and meetings by Socony-Vacuum executives in 1946. The film features snapshots of mid-20th-century corporate culture: an office party, lab experiments, and scenic locations such as Colorado's Pikes Peak and a "Dude Ranch" in the Rockies. Other notable moments include aerial footage of a Bell 47B-3 helicopter spraying pesticides and close-ups of the Erie Railroad Alco PA locomotive.

In the immediate post-War period, Socony-Vacuum Oil Company was a major American corporation in the oil sector, transitioning from its wartime contributions to peacetime production. After World War II, Socony-Vacuum, like many companies, shifted from military to civilian production and in 1946, resumed full-scale civilian production with a focus on oil and gas products for the consumer market (i.e. motor oils, gasoline, and other petroleum products which are featured in this film). During this time, Socony-Vacuum was investing in research and development, focusing on improving refining processes and improving lubricants and engine oils. The company’s extensive research laboratories, known as Socony-Vacuum Research Laboratories, are featured in this film as well.
