This film is about the release of Japanese-American from relocation centers for jobs in the Midwest. Nisei families leave a center. War Relocation Authority (WRA) offices locate civilian employment for them. Some Japanese work on a farm in Illinois, others in a candy factory, a machine shop, an egg dehydrating plant, and other industries. The WRA aids families in procuring living quarters.
