PRESENTS THE LIFE OF HENRY FORD, EMPHASIZING HIS INFLUENCE ON MODERN INDUSTRY. SHOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODEL T, THE ASSEMBLY LINE AND THE DEMAND FOR CARS BY ORDINARY WORKING PEOPLE. DISCUSSES HIS TROUBLES WITH LABOR UNIONS, HIS PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND HIS ROLE AS A PHILANTHROPIST. WITH NO MONEY AND ONLY A GRADE SCHOOL EDUCATION, FORD AT THE AGE OF 28 PULLED UP STAKES AND MOVED TO THE CITY OF DETROIT. FORD FINDS A JOB AND DURING THE DAY IS AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND INGENIOUS MECHANIC AT AN ELECTRIC POWER PLANT, BUT AT NIGHT HE WORKS AT HOME ON A PROJECT OF HIS OWN...AN EXPERIMENTAL GASOLINE POWERED BUGGY HE CALLS THE QUADRICYCLE. LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT HIS WORK WOULD REVOLUTIONIZE INDUSTRY AND BRING HIM INCREDIBLE WEALTH. HIS SUCCESS IN THE AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS EARNED HIM NATIONAL ADULATION, BUT IT ALSO MADE HIM THE CENTER OF VIOLENT CONTROVERSY.
