Good, if somewhat paranoid overview of the causes and cure of Pneumonia. After a brief rundown of what it is, we then turn to the story of a repairman who returns home after working in the rain without any sort of protection. He instantly gets sick and wife goes into action phoning up the doctor and what not. Everything looks all too perfect here, but maybe it was in the 1940's. After all, pneumonia was a solid killer..
