Film is composed of a number of shorts: Circular Panorama of Electric Tower; Panorama of Esplanade by Night; and Martyred Presidents.

In the first, a girl sits at the base of an altar or tomb, her face hidden from the camera. At the center of the altar, a viewing portal displays the portraits of three U.S. Presidents - Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, and William McKinley - each victims of assassination. At 3:04 is an excerpt from The Gay Shoe Clerk, 1903. Next is A Romance of the Rail, which was filmed in August 1903 along the Lackawanna Railway by Thomas Alva Edison. The last film is "Rounding Up of the 'Yeggmen.'"
The Pan-American Expo films were produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company from March to November 1901. The company, founded by inventor Thomas Alva Edison, operated from 1893 to 1917. More information about the films is available on the Library of Congress website.
