When soldiers returned to St. Louis from World War I, they found much had changed in their hometown. The 18th Amendment closed bars, and the 19th Amendment opened polling places to women. This film recalls St. Louis from the end of the war through the 1920's, including visits to the people, places and events that made this era unique: the Cherokee Businessman's Street Carnival, the Veiled Prophet Ball and Parade of 1922, the 1926 Cardinals with Rogers Hornsby, the tornado of 1927 and the development of the city under Mayor Henry Keil.
