An educational short made for Kleenex showing how to avoid catching a cold. The common man is home with a common cold, and his alter ego (common sense) tells him of the mistakes he made leading to him getting the cold and the careless things that he had done helping to spread the cold to other people. Naturally, the use of Kleenex Tissues is a big help against colds. There's a square dance sequence, along with experimental production design highlights (crayon scrawl backgrounds and chalkboard stick figures). This short features the voice talents of Bill Thompson.
