The first point is about keeping your skin clean; this is illustrated by a cat vigorously washing itself. Two elephants are then shown (presumably from London Zoo) wallowing playfully in a pool. A chimpanzee then washes using a small tin bowl. Next, a horse is groomed. Udders of cows are washed prior to milking. A tortoise is then shown with his head poking in and out of its shell. The soles of someone's feet are shown followed by a shot of a policeman walking purposefully from left to right. Hands are then seen and a boy chewing his finger nails. Calloused feet are shown - with the exhortation to not wear tight fitting shoes and stockings. A blind man who is begging sits by the street reading braille - in fact he peers over his dark glasses to check the contents of his cup, clearly indicating that he is a conman! The skin is very sensitive and a man is shown accidentally hitting his finger with a hammer and reacting accordingly - the skin is also sensitive to heat and a group of smokers are advised to be careful not to burn their fingers - in fact one then singes his fingers with a match. The reason for using soap is explained: to remove the oil that our sebaceous (sweat) glands secrete. A naked boy coyly demonstrates how to wash in a bucket-like tin tub.
