Information film about the exploitation of the Netherlands New Guinea forest. Cutting of forest giants in the first forest complex, opened near Oransbari. The tree trunks hauled by a caterpillar tractor to the dump in the wood. From there they are taken to the coast by trailer, to be shipped to the saw mill at Manokwari. In this modern equipped mill the trunks will be cut into planks and beams.
