Introduced with the statement "these are the things you must learn to teach." "This film is an illustrated narrative of the method of preparing any home for a 'black-out'. It illustrates the vital importance to every family of knowing what to do and just how to do it. No details are omitted and the instructions are clear and well illustrated. Preparation of a shelter room is described and illustrated."

It shows how under enemy action photographic crews work precious minutes getting and scanning pictures to search for signs of enemy emplacements and evidence of his movements. It shows what happens when well trained, discerning photographic interpreters can read from pictures shot by the crew."

It is explained that gas may not destroy cities the same way bombs do but rather its intended purpose “is to spread fear and panic, to destroy our morale, and cripple our war production.” Viewers are told that their best form of defense is to be prepared and know what to do after an attack.]]> Clorox Chemical Co.]]> Filmedia Corp]]> 1943]]> U.S. Office of Civilian Defense]]> 1943]]> U.S. Office of Civilian Defense]]> 1942]]>
