Shill for Firestone disguised as a car safety film about blowouts. What do you do when your car has a blowout? Your kid could get killed! Luckily, Firestone has the answer with it's puncture resistant, blowout negative tire! This film does it's job effectively, and has nice color.

A police car races to an accident scene. Cut to a hospital bed. Will the boy survive? ANSWER ME DOC!! Okay, this film avoided the last cliche. We flash back to the dad taking his son in their 1958 Plymouth to summer camp. Gas stop. Close up of damaged tire. You know what's going to happen next, mostly because the film opened with it. The movie then denigrates into an uninteresting tire commercial. The best part is the unfrightened woman with an umbrella. It sounds like the Langlois Filmusic library was used here.
