This film has its hero, Ike Isodope, an excellent X-ray technician who never burned out an X-ray tube before its time, but who burns himself every day through failure to protect himself properly from exposure. By showing, in humorous cartoon style, the right and wrong procedures, the film emphasizes the safety rules to be observed by personnel of photofluorographic units. Units can be operated safely, but only when personnel take precautions against exposure. Produced by the United States Public Health Service.
