Description:

This is a short fiction film made to teach people not to speak about secret information that might fall upon the ears of the enemy in wartime. Two scientists who work at a laboratory find out that something hidden in a fallen German aeroplane is being shipped to them. Some men who work at the loading docks find out about the shipment. One of the men goes to a bar later and tells people that the port is receiving something important and top secret. The information falls into the wrong hands. Other men break into the laboratory and set off a bomb to destroy all traces of what was found in the plane. The scientists and a soldier who barricaded the door from the intruders are killed. The film ends with a shot of the man who revealed the secret information and a sign that says: "Don't help the enemy! Careless talk may give away vital secrets". <11mn 55s>
