Jerry's son "Butch" wants to go to work with him one morning but is told that he can't because he might get hurt. This thought stays with Jerry all day at the construction site and results in his observing safe work practices that otherwise, he would not have bothered with. This is a very contrived film that is typical of safety films of the era. One of the most notable featues is wholly unintended: Jerry's smoking cigarettes in virtually every scene. His concern for safe work practices totally overlooks the bad example he is giving to his son by the chain-smoking sequences.
