This is one of the dullest of the James A. FitzPatrick Travel series and that's saying something, since most of them are nothing to shout about. We learn something in the opening narrative about why Spanish settlers came to California after Columbus--in search of gold that they never found.
We get shots of California wildflowers surrounding a highway, a long, winding train reminds us that California has a great network of railways, and see a field of poppies with the information that The Poppy is the state flower.
A few more images of flowers accompanies the remark that California's fertile soil and sunny climate is why they're so abundant all over the state.
We get a quick glimpse of monuments when we get to downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood--namely, CBS, NBC, Grauman's Chinese theater, and the busy Farmer's Market with outdoor tables for dining, big shopping center and post office.
The short closes with a view of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a "restful place for the dead" and an interesting glimpse of a stained glass recreation of "The Last Supper," by which time the viewer is probably looking for a restful place to rest.
