With the help of animated characters, the Fiction Writer (Richard Carlson), and Dr. Frank Baxter, talk about the weather and describe what scientists are doing about it. They illustrate the origins of such weather elements as wind, clouds, rain, snow, hail and lightning: show how these elements combine to produce weather and depict scientific attempts to predict and control weather.
Shamus Culhane Productions did the animation for the hour-long filmed program, which was produced by Frank Capra. Mel Blanc, Hans Conried, Lurene Tuttle, Franklin Pangborn, Jay Novello, and Ken Peters are the voices of the cartoon characters.
