With Lew Ayres stigmatized by his conscietious objector status during WW II and unable to continue as Dr. Kildare in the still-popular series, MGM bosses let Lionel Barrymore continue as the wizened Dr. Gillespie and here gave him a trio of new assistants. His new aides were Johnson from
Kansas, Luke, an Asian-American from Brooklyn, and Quine from Australia. The path of the series turns to lighter comedy with this varied bunch as they concentrate on amnesia victim Peters.
