Various stories from the 1930s, in retrospect. Metropolis, Illinois Dramatic disaster aftermath footage (tornado). Many scenes of damage - telephone pole on ground; smashed car window with bricks inside car; entire structure (barn??) tipped over more than 90 degrees, so its roof is now against the ground. Little girl (with typical 1930s hair and clothes) holds baby doll and smiles for camera.
