What was he made of? How did this seemingly average officer from four decades of competent but undistinguished serve with the peronal qualities that would transform him overnight into the conquering, idolized hero of Manila Bay.

This film records President McKinley taking the oath of office. The first camera position shows the seating arrangements prepared for the spectators and witnesses on the steps of the Capitol. At the time the film was taken, there were many empty seats. The second camera position shows the inaugural party during the swearing-in ceremonies. All that can be seen is the black draped balcony and, in the distance, two people standing facing one another, as if they were part of the administration of the oath. The film ends as the newly inaugurated president begins his speech.
