Sure, shoot the kid with a lifetime's radiation exposure to find a piece of candy and some junk in his pockets, but it must have been too racy to show a real xray of a woman's foot so you get a backlit shot while the narartor talks about "these remarkable pictures"! The analogy with sound waves from a harp is good for a laugh too, and they don't show anything from xrays of brake shoes that you couldn't see from just looking at the darn things with the naked eye. A remarkable film because of its lack of substance on the subject it purports to be about, and as with most Jam Handy films, the "modern motorcar" is there too.
