The all-seeing eye above the pyramid on the back of the one-dollar bill is this film's starting point, and its claim is that modern Freemasons are wrong to call the symbol unrelated to their tradition. It traces the bill's 1935 redesign to Franklin D. Roosevelt and his vice president Henry Wallace, both Freemasons, and follows their documented interest in Russian mystic and painter Nicholas Roerich, whose spiritual teachings the film argues shaped their thinking. From there it asks whether the eagle on the reverse was originally meant as a phoenix, a bird tied to death and rebirth in occult symbolism, and whether the eye represents what some esoteric readings call the Masonic Christ. Part of the Secret Mysteries series, the film moves from currency symbolism into geopolitics, framing the twentieth century's wars as steps toward a single world government and pointing to the proposed North American Union as a present-day continuation of that project. It closes on the question the whole film has been building toward: is America being deceived, or is it the deceiver.
