The video tutorial explains planar graphs and Euler's formula, which states that for a planar graph, the number of vertices minus the number of edges plus the number of faces equals two. The tutorial analyzes two examples: one with 6 vertices, 11 edges, and 5 faces, which is not planar as it doesn't satisfy Euler's formula, and another with 7 vertices, 9 edges, and 4 faces, which is planar. The video concludes by confirming the existence of a planar graph for the second example.
