An opening sequence explains that sunlight and fresh air are enemies of the germ, but many city dwellers are constantly exposed to possible infection. "Mary Smith, a slim, attractive high school girl, is introduced. She is shown taking tuberculin tests with the other students, and lier test shows that she has sustained no tuberculosis infection. But soon afterward, Mary's tubercular aunt comes to live in the Smith home. Several possible means of transmitting her infection are shown. The following sequence of the film reveals the development of the tuberculosis infection inside Mary's lungs. But this time infection is walled off by defensive cells and confined to inactivity in a small cavity. "A few years elapse. Mary, now out of school, is working. Dieting for slimness, she is getting too little to eat, too little rest and too much excitement. Animation and X-ray pictures reveal the processes of reinfection and cavity formation. After several months, Mary begins to show signs of the disease and has a medical examination. She goes to a sanatorium, where she gets fresh air, correct diet, and complete rest. In the case of the aunt, pneumothorax treatment is given.
