content: Film footage from a cruise to the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific from January 9 to May 9, 1936. Activities depicted include cruise ship life and beaches; landscapes and harbors; monumental buildings and ruins, including interior shots; and brief shots of local people on streets, at leisure, and at work. Film footage is largely touristic: historic sites and monuments, crowded street scenes in port cities, and companions at leisure in restaurants or on the cruise ship. Shots of locals tend to be either in city crowds or in performances, usually dances or concerts in traditional dress. Camera is curious about locals but rarely records more than brief, unstaged moments. Bulleted information is transcribed from film reels and/or cans. Filming locations as listed on film reels and in intertitles include: Trinidad (Port of Spain), Brazil (Bahia, Rio de Janeiro), St. Helena, South Africa (Cape Town, Kimberly, Pretoria, Durban), India (Bombay, Udaipur, Amber, Jaipur, Delhi, Agra and Taj Mahal), Indochina/Cambodia (Angkor), Ceylon/Sri Lanka (Kandy), Indonesia (Bali, Java), Philippines (Manila), Hong Kong, China (Beijing, Shanghai), and Hawaii (Honolulu).

The sugar cane grown on many small farms around Simoca is prominent at the market. This film was shot in October 1965 and released that same year. Prelorán updated the titles and credits in 1996 and may have re-edited the film at that time as well. Around 2008, Prelorán revisited the film again, creating a videotape master. There is also a recorded English narration for this film, though it does not appear an English version was completed. The HSFA holds two versions.
