he laws governing old age pensions in Denmark have recently been consolidated, and the rates of pensions improved. The film opens with visits to typical old age pensioners living independently. We pay a visit to a typical block of low-rent flats, built specially for old people who can care for themselves. Special places are provided for those who can no longer live alone without attention. We see the famous De Gamles By, which has been criticised on a number of counts, yet which has certain amenities provided by few other such places. We then visit a number of old people's homes, including a small one in a village, one of the most modern homes in Denmark in the prosperous Copenhagen suburb of Gentofte, and a typical average home.

The film gives a picture of the busy life that moves throughout the day in the Radio House, and it shows us the people behind the voices as well as the technical means needed to complete the broadcasts. Reportage and department manager Aksel Dahlerup (later radio director from 1959-1967) takes the viewer on a tour through the radio house's many studios, where orchestras rehearse, choir singers rehearse, actors record audio plays and speakers advertise the press radio newspaper. We also drop by the director's office, the music archive and the Marketenderiet, where the house's many employees meet over a bite to eat or a cup of coffee.
