Powell plays the title character, a modern-day Rasputin, who cures the leukemia-stricken child of a powerful senator (Hemmings) and seduces the politician's wife (Duncan). Seeing the potentially dangerous healer rising in the nation's power structure, Doc Wheelan (Crawford) sets out to
ruin the mysterious man. Another interesting film from Down Under.
