A male factory worker attaches tracks to a Crusader's drive sprocket and return rollers. Elsewhere, various types of British and United States tanks are raced across a three mile all-terrain course at a proving ground in an undisclosed location. Extensive footage shows tanks being put through their paces on the proving ground, these include Churchill Mk IV and Mk V tanks, M4 Sherman and Sherman Firefly Mk VC tanks, Comet and Cromwell Mk IV tanks and a Challenger tank with 17-pounder gun. Comet and Cromwell tanks negotiate a steep incline. Elsewhere in Burma, a British M7 Priest self-propelled howitzer (named "Chudleigh" by its crew) fires at unseen Japanese positions.
