This instructional film serves as a critical guide for emergency medical personnel on how to manage patients suffering from drug and alcohol overdoses. It emphasizes that regardless of the substance ingested, the primary clinical danger is hypoxia—the lack of oxygen caused by respiratory depression. The film outlines the fundamental protocols for life-saving intervention: establishing airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC), measuring blood pressure, and assessing the patient's level of consciousness to identify potential plunges into life-threatening respiratory failure. Through a series of dramatized case studies, the narrative illustrates common pitfalls, such as misdiagnosing a critical overdose as mere drunkenness, wasting time trying to identify specific substances, or failing to recognize signs of trauma. Ultimately, the film stresses that constant monitoring of vital signs and the use of a bag mask to assist breathing are the most effective tools for ensuring a patient survives until they reach a hospital.

Joe, a careless steel-yard rigger, is killed by a sloppy lift and meets a white-suited "guardian angel" who walks him through everything he did wrong — and through OSHA's rules ("Asha," as Joe calls them). The lessons: use only alloy chain overhead, read the sling tag, know a load's actual weight instead of guessing, never knot a chain to shorten it, load hooks in the bowl rather than the point, mind the sling angle, pad sharp corners, and inspect and document slings regularly. Joe returns to work a convert. Includes chain-plant manufacturing, proof-testing, and shock-load demonstrations.
