A strong indictment of medical men of smoking as a general health risk, this film follows an actual patient through his diagnosis, discussions with the surgeon, and the actual operation for the removal of a lung and the exposure of the cancer in the excised lung. Filmed at the Royal Edward Chest Hospital in Montreal.
