Personal Cleanliness

Personal Cleanliness (like Drinking Water) is also the third commandment, demonstrating along with the partial animation, that these films were probably rushed through production to be put in the field as quickly as possible. This time the commandment is "Thou shall keep thy personal habits clean..." but Mac refuses to take baths and smells so bad that a skunk runs away from him and his socks walk off by themselves. His skin itches continuously and slant-eyed 'germs' attack his feet with saws and jackhammers until he cannot walk. Natives who appear to be cannibals pick him up and dump him into a kettle, but only to give him a bath.
