Soldiers walk in formation on a road accompanied by several mounted men. Judging by the soldiers’ heavy clothing, it must be winter. This group may be the 26th Infantry, Theodore and Archibald Roosevelt’s regiment. Following sequence is of biplanes flying in formation. Third sequence is shot at a hangar where men appear to be preparing a plane for flight. The second and third sequences may be of Quentin Roosevelt’s squadron, the 95th. The last sequence probably represents Kermit Roosevelt’s regiment, the 7th Field Artillery. In this sequence a group of men load and fire a cannon. Location undetermined; film, or portions of it, probably shot in France.

On April 14, 1917, Archie Roosevelt marries Grace Stackpole Lockwood at the Emmanuel Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Side view of Theodore Roosevelt entering an automobile with two women. The one following Roosevelt may be his wife Edith. Roosevelt doffs his hat as he faces the camera. View of crowd outside the Emmanuel Church, and long shot of woman holding blanket up, perhaps to shield the bride’s entrance into the church. Last two segments appear to be unrelated scenes: medium close shot of Roosevelt sitting in a car with an unidentified man and a close up of Roosevelt with a man in uniform. Both scenes are outside in undetermined locations.
