Jean Hersholt plays the saintly Dr. Christian in the second film of the six-film series. This time he's fighting a spinal meningitis epidemic, crusading for a slum cleanup, and fighting off the advances of an amorous old maid. Saccharine and dull today when few of us can picture a really
"saintly" doctor, people flocked to the movie theaters to see the pipe-smoking, chuckling Hersholt in each of his Dr. Christian pictures.
