Classic 1950’s American Cold War propaganda film. A cartoon turtle wearing a helmet walks along before noticing a monkey in a tree holding a bomb next to him. The turtle hides in his shell as the bomb explodes, destroying everything but the turtle. Close up of the turtle hiding in his shell, he peeks out and grabs his helmet. A man stands in front of a classroom as the children practice the duck and cover maneuver under their desks. Shot of a fire and firefighters sliding down a pole and piling into a fire engine. Shot of a police officer directing traffic. Shots of a traffic light and kids crossing the street. More shots of the man speaking to the school children. Shot of a field as the sky begins to flash. Cartoon of a house next to a tree. A nuclear bomb explodes off screen and destroys the landscape. Debris flies across the screen. A turtle hiding in its shell is unaffected.
