This film captures Dr. Kendall Emerson of the National Tuberculosis Association, as he explained the value of early diagnosis of tuberculosis and introduced doctors who explained diagnostic procedures.

This film dramatizes the infection and cure of a two-year-old boy with tuberculosis (TB). A tubercle was grown around the germs in the boy's body. It later became loosened and the TB germs escaped in his body, but he is eventually completely cured by sanatorium care. Geared toward very young children, the film incorporates animation into its storyline.

This film is aimed at African Americans (and shot at Tuskegee University) and instructs viewers in the necessity for early diagnosis of tuberculosis, advising Black people to get chest X-rays at the first symptoms of the disease and assuring them that the disease can be cured. The film suggests that organized religion is a vital mainstay in this particular community, but warns of the dangers of the previous generation's superstitions and its fear of medicine.
