- A cautionary training film for those who operate and repair heavy equipment. Vignettes show men taking short cuts in their work, doing things they aren't trained for, neglecting to warn a less-experienced worker, using the wrong tool or a tool that's in disrepair, ignoring proper safety practices, trying to appear macho in front of fellow workers, thinking their reflexes are quicker than they are, working while distracted, and generally putting themselves and others at risk. The film is punctuated by the song, "Shake Hands with Danger," the story of Three-Finger Joe. Filmed using Caterpillar equipment.
- In this short National Safety Council film, the perfect crime is presented as excess speed. Accidents at high speed often results in deaths and are rarely investigated like the robbery of a corner grocery shown at the beginning of the film. Driving too fast, particularly in poor weather conditions or at night can be deadly. Then there are those who don't properly maintain their vehicle. Alcohol is a problem. Even bad roads, railway crossings and narrow underpasses are the driver's responsibility, as they should slow down. The film ends with a plea to support the costs of new modern roads.
- Documentary safety short on both the importance of heeding signal warnings on the proper maintenance of machinery on construction sites and the equal importance of following the correct instructions on the operating of heavy equipment.
