From the GE Film catalog, "Lease on the Future is the story of the petroleum industry, its contributions to our standard of living, its phenomenal growth in recent years, and the role that electricity has played in this development. The film offers an interesting and educational explanation of drilling methods and oil production processes and points out several little known uses of oil in home and industry. It is primarily designed to illustrate the many ways in which electricity has simplified and increased oil production and can continue to do so to an even greater extent in the future. "
