M/S of a mother in her kitchen baking buns, she talks about her children and says she no longer has any fear of one thing, the word 'diphtheria' comes up on the screen. The picture fades to a scientist in his laboratory, he talks about how many children diphtheria kills and how it is easy to stop, the word 'inoculation' comes up on the screen and it fades to a doctor in his surgery talking about how it is simple safe and free.
