    Where to Watch

Story of a discredited doctor (Shaun Glenville) who tries to redeem himself during an epidemic. Pat: Peggy Cummins. O'Hara: James Carney. Rosemary: Patricia Roc. Stephen: Liam Gaffney. Constantia: Mary Merrall. Crowther: Walter Hudd. Sarah: Irene Handl.

A drunken Irish doctor, Glenville, is hounded out of the profession after the death of his daughter-in-law during an operation he performs while tipsy. In true soap opera fashion, a diphtheria outbreak among workers on a dam on which his now estranged son is an engineer gives him the chance to prove himself again, and he is reinstated as a doctor at the end.
