This appears to be a trailer for an Italian language propaganda film made specifically for American audiences and contains some images of war. It advertises these images as the first ones of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War to be shown in America. Mussolini is also seen orating from a balcony. This conflict resulted in the Italian annexation of Ethiopia (Abyssinia) and the creation of the colony of Italian East Africa.
