The bacteria talk to each other in the cartoon and refer to each other as poison (voiced by Mel Blanc). The bacteria play and dive in plasma pools as they multiply. Cartoon shows leukocytes coming out of capillary wall and moving through the tissue. It approaches a group of bacteria and devours them, then enlarges. Many leukocytes are seen consuming bacteria.

Chains of streptococus bacteria enter a capillary partially blocked with clotted blood, and then into the blood stream of the human body.
