"Pictures first an advancing shadow covering the map of Europe. From the plague of smallpox, sixty million persons died in one century for there was no remedy but charma and superstitions.
"In England, Dr. Jenner is a country doctor. Before a pest house, guarded by soldiers, Jenner meets a widow whose child is inside. He enters to help, but the child is dead He walks through the town to the dairy whose workers, strangely, are immune, although sometimes affected by the mild disease of cowpox. While there, he notes that one of the town boys, whose hand had been cut, had an attack of cowpox. And. Jenner ponders, the boy had probably held the infected hand of his dairymaid sweetheart and thus unknowingly saved himself from smallpox.
"Later, in the doctor's home, the widow fears for the health of her remaining child but is assured by the doctor that it is only stomach ache. Jenner determines to give the child cowpox and to do it by scratching the skin. He therefore takes the disease from the dairymaid's skin and vaccinates the child. Jenner offers free vaccinations to the townspeople, but is distrusted and his home is stoned. His announcement to the doctors of London is ridiculed, and he returns home. But the plague returns and many dead are again carried away.
"To test his theory of immunity, he Injects smallpox germs Into the widow's boy, previously vaccinated, and then keeps the boy under his own roof to note the results. . . On the tenth day the mother tells where her son is. A group of neighbors march in a body to the doctor's home, determined to investigate. But Dr Jenner appears in the doorway, the widow's healthy boy by his side.
"The shadow of the plague withdraws from the map. Recommended for general science classes in the Junior and senior high school. Also of value for college courses in public health and health education." Advisory committee
"An excellent film, well dramatized and beautifully photographed. (Particularly useful for] public health and general science." California
