- During Robert L. Ripley's absence on a world tour, Leo Donnelly narrates scenes of oddities in the Philippines, Japan, Luxembourg and other places.
- In Robert L. Ripley's absence, Leo Donnelly acts as the guide to the world of "believe it or not"s from around the world. A group of people in the Philippines is moving a house, foundation and all, six miles, by carrying it on their backs with the family still inside the house. A one-armed boat builder demonstrates the water crafts he has devised for his disability. A junk in China is being propelled by those aboard who are walking on the junk's treadmill propeller. Dwarf trees in Japan are shown, some as old as 700 years. Also in Japan, Japanese chickens are shown with tail feathers measuring up to 25 feet in length. A sundial in Manila is the world's largest at 30 feet in height and 65 feet in length. A group of churchgoers in Luxembourg is dancing - closer to bouncing - as a ritual toward good health. Livestock with unusual physical attributes are shown. Tree limbs are displayed in Tacoma, Washington that form an alphabet. The world's largest collection of the smallest books is shown, and the largest set of footprints is displayed outside of Grauman's Chinese Theater.—Huggo
- The viewer is taken around the world to see the oddities of everyday life. In the Philippines, a large group of men carry a house to a new site, and in Manila, there's a very large sun dial. In Luxembourg, a group of people dance their way to church. One-armed boat builder James E. Marvin demonstrates several of his designs. In Japan, dwarf trees and chickens with tail feathers that measure up to 25 feet in length are shown. Then there are the oddities of a four-horned goat, a cow with the face of a bulldog, and another with two udders. Finally, there's the world's largest collection of miniature books.—garykmcd
- With Robert L. Ripley away doing research, an off-screen Leo Donnelly narrates a look at curious human enterprises. A crew of Filipinos carry a bamboo house six miles with the family inside; a one-armed man shows off boats he powers ingeniously; coolies foot-paddle a Chinese junk across a river; villagers in Luxembourg do an annual dance for St. Vitas; and also seen are the world's largest sundial, largest collection of tiny books, and chickens with the longest tail feathers. It ends with a visit to Grauman's Chinese Theater, where Hollywood's stars have left their hand and foot prints since 1927. Believe it or not.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
