The Millerson Case

On a hunting vacation in remote upstate New York, criminologist Robert Ordway (Warner Baxter) gets caught up in what appears at first to be a typhoid outbreak. The disease causes a culture clash between the town's only doctor, folk-remedy-espousing Sam Millerson (Griff Barnett), and modern county health officer Dr. Wickersham (Addison Richards). But, when Ordway looks into the illness of barber Ward Beechy (Trevor Bardette), he begins to suspect that the sick man may have been poisoned.
