Opening sequence shows the city's docks and the farmers' produce markets. The hard-working dogs are seen as they pull their carts. The small trolley-cars timidly try to inject an air of modernism into the old city. The zoo, one of the world's finest, is visited. "We see that gasoline has not put the horse entirely out of business in Antwerp. The flower market at the foot of Antwerp Cathedral, started in the fourteenth century, is visited next. In the cathedral, the carillon is shown with its old-fashioned keyboard, and the film concludes with the sound of the bells. Sound narration and music, quality excellent; photography excellent."
