Focusing on the Sear Merchandise mail-order warehouse in documentary approach begins as an informative look at the mail order distribution process, and ends as a candid observation of management/labor relations. A plant supervisor narrates and guides the tour along the conveyor belt system that connects the stages of the mail order trajectory, which becomes Blumberg s storyline. Employee satisfaction, job efficiency, and labor standardizations are conveyed through brief interviews with the workers along the belt, culminating in a confrontational dialogue between a black female emplyee and her white male employer.
