This film is about the consequences of not immunising your children against diphtheria, a potentially fatal but completely preventable disease. The poignancy of 'the empty bed' only becomes clearer as the story in the film unfolds. The opening intertitle states that 'two doctors made this film... to save 16,000 children'. The intertitles offer an apology if anyone is upset by its contents. 2 segments.
