Imhoff's movie sets a sound track of himself making his collect call on top of a mad melee of still photographs and film clips punctuated by blanks on the screen.

He worked tirelessly to make his territory a state, began by promoting the famed Alcan Highway, outlawing discrimination against natives (Eskimos, Indians and Aleuts), starting to collect taxes from companies doing business in the territory.
