Images of swans are shown to illustrate the water-proof nature of their oil-covered feathers. The graphic illustration of a bald man's head is widely thought to be that of Alfred Salter, MP for Bermondsey, himself. This is to illustrate how a lack of cleanliness can lead to blocked pores and boils! The many washing and bathing amenities of the borough are outlined - many residents did not have bathrooms in their houses. A visit to the turkish bath is recommended; a young man sits wrapped up in a towel smoking a cigarette. A man then receives a massage. This is followed by shots of the swimming baths; a woman demonstrates her diving technique. An open air pool is also shown, then a man diving into a river. Finally, a pig eats its meal and the viewers are reminded not to have the habits of a hog.
