Young people go from marijuana to wild piano playing, hysteria and death.

Cautionary tale features a fictionalized and highly exaggerated take on the use of marijuana. A trio of drug dealers lead innocent teenagers to become addicted to "reefer" cigarettes by holding wild parties with jazz music.

Unabashed propaganda film on the perils of marijuana use. Clean-cut WASP couple Bill and Mary are innocent high school students who play tennis and drink tea on the back porch. Their friend Jimmy introduces them to a pot dealer named Jack, who invites Bill back to his den of inequity, where stoned ne'er-do-wells laugh fiendishly, dance, and play the piano. After one joint, Bill is hooked and his and Mary's lives begin to spin out of control. Starring Dorothy Short and Kenneth Craig.
