Plot
In Target for Tonight-style (a diagram of the target is actually stamped "Target for Tonight" by an officer mosquito), a narrator briefs the audience on a mosquito attack upon a hapless man enjoying a day on a screened porch. It goes from (under)ground school to field training against "enemy" countermeasures such as insecticides and swatters, takeoffs from improvised "aircraft carriers" made from a sardine can with a cigarette lighter as its superstructure and other military weapons.
