Interview with Greek immigrant coal mine operator, Pete Pentazes, owner of Prosperity Mine No. 2, discusses gold mining in Alaska for a brief time. He then moves on to life in mining towns and pastimes like poker and other gambling games. Pentazes discusses the science of growing grapes in a vineyard, the interview takes place among the grapevines and he discusses the dangers of frost for the grapes. Interviewers show him a small object that he says was used as a light source, dipped in oil then used in the mines and homes. Sound is cut and Pentazes is shown walking around among the plants with the interviewers. The video cuts to some church footage before switching to Mrs. Bazanele and other unnamed individuals, all video is without audio. Interviewers and various individuals stand around talking in the driveway of a farmhouse, next to a station wagon and an old van. More footage of the scenery around the farmhouse is speckled throughout.
