La formule Grand Hôtel qui était si surchargé de travail dans les années 1930 a fait une apparition encore dans Escape to Glory 1940. L'histoire est donnée en temps opportun en plaçant les personnages sur un navire marchand britannique le jour même que la Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée. Le navire est attaqué par un nazi U-Boat, ce qui entraîne dans une variété de réactions des divers passagers - dont l'un (Erwin Kalser) est un médecin allemand. Constance Bennett est glamour, Pat O'Brien est boozy, John Halliday est pensive, et tout le monde (à l'exception du medico allemand) est simple peur.

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.

On the Green Beautiful, a utopian planet much smaller than Earth, Mila, a rather young woman - by the reckoning of her people, at any rate - volunteers to go on planet Earth at the yearly planet reunion. It has been two hundred years since they had last sent Osam (an old sage) and Mila's father there, and they had come back with what they believed were nasty tidings: the people of Earth lived in a generally bad condition. Osam mentions Napoleon and stresses the fact that at that point in the development on earth, there was still money - a notion that baffles even the wisest folk of the Green Beautiful. Apparently, it seems that without money, you have nothing. In time, we find out that important historical figures such as Jesus and Johann Sebastian Bach had come from this very planet.
