I liked this one. Boris and his son have a bit of a reunion. They are both doctors. Karloff is the kindly old physician who tends to all the superstitious peasants in the Italian village. He also looks after their emotional needs, but he is getting tired. A family is in desperate need of a doctor for their little girl. It is a stormy night and the old doctor has gone to look after an elderly woman who is dying. Because he isn't there, the son heads out, not realizing that these people are so fixated on the old doctor, they won't let the young, more modern doctor, assist them. What happens after that would spoil the ending. Suffice it to say, it's a nicely told tale and caught me by surprise. I wonder why this series has sat in a vault all these years. For its time, it wasn't earth shattering, but had nice stories to tell.
