A faux travelogue that mixes documentary and mockumentary footage. The camera looks through a one-way glass into the women's dressing room at a lingerie shop, visits a Kyoto massage parlor, goes inside the mailroom at Frederick's of Hollywood, watches an Australian who sticks nails through his skin and eats glass, checks out the art and peace scene in Los Angeles, takes in Easter week with vacationing college students on Balboa Island, observes a German audience enjoying a play about Nazi sadism, and, with the help of powerful military lenses, spies on a Lebanese white-slavery auction.

Centered around a vehement diatribe against pornography delivered by news reporter George Putnam, the film attempts to link explicit portrayals of human sexuality to the subversion and decline of American civilization, and briefly draws a parallel between pornography and Communist infiltration. Perversion for Profit illustrates its claims with still images taken from various softcore pornography magazines of the period-- though, 'sensitive' parts of the human anatomy have been obscured by colored bars. The film is in the public domain, and has become a popular download from the Prelinger Archives.

This is a film comprised primarily from footage shot by the exploring team of Mr. and Mrs. William Phillips, nee Bill and Eve Phillips, a minor league version of the better-known Martin and Osa Johnson. It, between tons of shots of bare-breasted Choco and Cuna Indian women, has a flimsy plot about a party of engineers "seeking" a continental highway route from South America through Central America to the United States.

"Chef d'œuvre de haine, de vanité provocante, d'orgueil démoniaque, mais chef-d'œuvre tout de même." - Riefenstahl utilise le langage cinématographique pour glorifier et mythifier le sujet : contre-plongées héroïques, contre-champ nombreux de spectateurs (soldats, militants et "civils") enthousiastes. Le cadrage de la foule, lors de travellings ne permet pas un décompte exact. Travellings circulaires lors des discours et très grands plans lors des parades. - La séquence d'ouverture fait d'Hitler un dieu descendu des cieux pour sauver le peuple allemand. "Un dieu nouveau descendant du Walhalla", selon Mitry qui reprend l'analyse de Sadoul:("L'avion du nouveau Messie se posait à Nuremberg.") qui, plus loin, parle de "pompeuse déification wagnérienne". Ferro évoque "l'avion du Führer qui descend du ciel tel le démiurge"
