In Washington, D.C. we obtain a general statistical picture of tuberculosis in the United States. Back to New York and then up to Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks to visit "The Little Red" and other landmarks associated with the memory of Dr Trudeau. In the Southland we spend a day in a large sanitorium, where case-finding is shown; in the bayou country, we visit the romantic bayou country. In Louisiana, where case-finding is done with the aid of an auto trailer; in the sweathouse, where migrant workers get a glimpse of the consumptive problem; and on we go to numerous other points. Vaughan Glaser is the narrator.
