This latter-day parable focuses on two brothers. Peter Rogers is an ambitious, hard-driving attorney. Bob Rogers is a thoughtfuI, contemplative doctor who decides to forsake his practice to do missionary work in war-torn China. When Peter's young son is tragically kiIIed in an accident, he visits his brother and learns first-hand the importance of compassion and charity. In a world rocked by strife and pain, Iove can overcome and triumph.
The role of the ideaIistic young Dr, Bob Rogers would prove prescient for actor DeForest Kelley (1920-'99), who later found worldwide fame as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy on the cIassic television series Star Trek.
