A colour cartoon about tobacco addiction and the difficulty of breaking the habit. This case history of a chain smoker--told on a psychiatrist's couch, with the patient's recollections amusingly illustrated--explains the whole psychology of the smoking habit and the part that cigarette advertising plays in making it stick. The film has an entertaining appeal for young people.
