This animated film was made for the washing powder "Famos" produced at soap factories in Riesa-Gröba and Düsseldorf. We see a German housewife doing the washing the traditional way – i.e. putting it out to bleach on the grass. Unfortunately, some hens walk all over it. All that work for nothing! So the sun, who has observed all these goings-on, recommends "Famos" as a bleaching agent.
