Summary:
Doctor Bull: a small-town physician ministers to the citizens of a small Kentucky town, often substituting advice and witticisms for pills and sutures. Bull triumphs over his adversaries when he stems a typhoid epidemic, proving that the disease was spread by pollution from the construction camp owned by the town's resident scrooge. Judge Priest: Rogers plays a small town judge whose unconventional but sound policies endear him to his constituents.
