An animated illustration of the safety rule: "Never touch plumbing and electrical fixtures at the same time." In the film we see a young woman commit the fatal error of switching on an electric light while in her bath. After a fleeting glimpse of a gravestone with the inscription R.I.P., we see her in the next world where in her celestial tub she is about to repeat her mistake but remembers the consequences just in time.

This animated film shows what happens to two picnickers who had never heard the warning 'Leaflets three--let it be.' Colour photographs of the various types of poison ivy will help others avoid their plight.
