Un giovane medico assume una condotta in un paesino di minatori dove ha modo di dar prova di onestà e abnegazione. In seguito va a Londra dove incontra un amico che lo introduce nel gran mondo. In breve anch'egli acquista una vasta clientela e abbagliato dal successo e dal denaro, dimentica l'etica della professione. Un giorno un vecchio amico viene investito da una macchina, operato da un professionista del gran mondo, amico del nostro dottore per imperizia nell'atto operatorio, muore. Il giovane medico apre gli occhi e ritorna a dedicarsi con onestà alla propria professione.

The Citadel (1938)
110 min
Young, idealistic, newly qualified Scottish doctor Andrew Manson arrives in Wales and takes his first job in a mining town, and begins to wonder at the persistent cough many of the miners have. When his attempts to prove its cause are thwarted, he moves to London. His new practice does poorly, but when a friend shows him how to make a lucrative practice from rich hypochondriacs, it will take a great shock to show him what the truth of being a doctor really is.
