The life of a doctor in a small Ohio town. He is a general practitioner and a friend to all. In addition to his daily patients he visits the school to vaccinate the children and once a week goes to a nearby hospital as a consultant. He lunches at home with his wife and three children. He makes calls to nearby farmers. We see him at home with his family at night showing home motion pictures. When he tries to take a day off from his work he is likely to be called away by an emergency case. (1950 NYU Film Library catalog)
