Americans waste over one billion dollars a year on worthless health products and practices. This film exposes the cunning traps and trappings of the fraud, the quack, and the charlatan who prey on all strata of our society. In a series of vignettes, it tells us how to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent health services and products and how to outwit the quack and quackery.

Though this sex education film concentrates on presenting the anatomy and physiology of human reproduction in sober medical terms, its release kicked off a controversy in many American cities and towns over the legitimacy of sex education in the public schools. The film is narrated from the point of view of an adult who tries to decide how to answer his son's natural questions about sex and reproduction. With excellent diagrams of the reproductive process.

As Jerry passes the local Manson factory, a crowd is gathered outside. He stops to see "the fun." Someone on a soap box is shouting "down with this, and down with that" and then a stone is thrown through the factory window. Jerry would have gotten into the brawl that followed, but Mike, a policeman and friend of the boy's grandfather, takes him home in "protective custody." After a stroll, Gramp and Jerry sit down on the City Hall steps to chat. The old man knew...
