The dangers of drinking and driving are illustrated to a teenager returning from a beach party, where after having "one too many beach beers" he runs over a young mother and her child. This color short is not to be confused with the earlier black and white film, with same title, from 1961.

The perils of children acting first and thinking later are illustrated in these stories of what happens to children who exhibit such rash behavior.
