Made by United States Steel, "The Joker" is a safety film featuring actor Hans Conried. The film has Conried playing the part of the gremlin-like "Joker", a menace who causes accidents at a steel plant by distracting workers into being lax with safety procedures to results ranging from bad to worse.
The film attempts to illustrate the importance of safety practices and discusses various hazards like machinery operation, material handling, and the consequences of neglecting safety protocols.
Here, the "Joker" represents the dangers and accidents waiting to happen if safety measures are ignored. This character is depicted as insidiously causing accidents through distraction, poor practices, and negligence. The narrative includes details on the aftermath of accidents, like lost time, medical issues, and financial implications, to emphasize the real cost of safety oversight.
Overall, the film serves as a cautionary tale or educational piece aimed at promoting safety consciousness by dramatizing the potential for accidents in an industrial setting, using the 'Joker' as a symbol for the ever-lurking dangers. (Hans Georg Conried Jr. was known for providing the voices of George Darling and Captain Hook in Walt Disney's Peter Pan, Snidely Whiplash in Jay Ward's Dudley Do-Right cartoons, Professor Waldo P. Wigglesworth in Ward's Hoppity Hooper cartoons, was host of Ward's live-action "Fractured Flickers" show and Professor Kropotkin on the radio and film versions of My Friend Irma.)
