Synopsis/Review

"In this drama, set in Italy during 1889, a young doctor meets and falls for the daughter of Tofano, a renowned medical professor. The professor does not approve of the affair and suggests the young doctor leave Rome. The physician goes to Obetello where he discovers a radical but successful treatment for malaria. Trouble ensues when he spurns the advances of an amorous neighbor. For revenge, she begins blaming the current malaria epidemic on him. As a result he is tried and sentenced to four years in prison for using unorthodox methods. His medical license is also revoked. In jail he is demoted to orderly. He promptly inoculates himself against the dreaded disease using his own treatment. He soon proves his innocence and is acquitted of all crimes. He then returns to Rome to marry his true love."
