Film made for Harrisons and Crosfield, publicising the company's contribution to Malayan national prosperity.

Malayan wealth is based on rubber, and the film begins by showing the initial collection of the latex, incidentally mentioning the fair relations which prevail between the company and the rubber tappers. The narrator emphasises that the British built up the plantations - the tree is not native to Malaya - and there is a simple explanation of cross-breeding techniques, with film of the nurseries where seedlings are planted and budded. In the British-owned factory the latex is formed into sheet rubber, sole crepe or linotex - Harrisons and Crosfield's global organisation makes it possible for production to respond quickly to world market requirements. Good labour relations are important and workers live a "full and interesting life" - sports facilities, company schools, free medical attention, freedom of worship, etc. The film ends with a brief look at palm oil cultivation - begun and still largely controlled by the British - coconut growing, and tin mining. Native industry, and the initiative of companies like Harrisons and Crosfield, help to supply the world with tropical products.
