[1] Dr. Holden (Ralph Bellamy) is "The Healer" (the original title) in this 1930s morally uplifting pot-boiler.

He is a doctor that has come home to a warm springs to try to heal children from the unnamed crippling disease (polio).

He runs a destitute camp for these children, assisted by Evelyn Allen (Karen Morley) who looks upon the Doc as a great man.

This little triangle is interrupted by a rich girl Joan Bradshaw (Judith Allen) who cons the good Doc into building a sanitorium for the wealthy with her father's money.

Doc is momentarily swayed, but comes to his senses just as a forest fire threatens his original cabins around the warm spring.
