Dr. Praetorius, believing in the power of the mind to heal as well as traditional medical therapies, is challenged to defend his unorthodox philosophy before the medical board and must also convince his new wife that he married her for love, not out of pity for her unwed, pregnant, suicidal state.

Based on the play Dr. Praetorius by Curt Goetz. Originally released as motion picture in 1951.
