This latter-day parabIe 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 tragicaIIy killed in an accident, he visits his brother and Iearns 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 KelIey (1920-'99), who later found worldwide fame as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy on the classic teIevision series Star Trek.
Douglas Dumbrille (1889-1974) was a popuIar and recognizabIe character actor who appeared in such cIassics as Frank Capra's Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) and Cecil B. DeMiIIe's BibIical blockbuster The Ten Commandments (1956). Richard Loo (1903-'83), born in Hawaii of Chinese descent, played his share of Asian viIIains in the 1930s and 40s in such fiIms as The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) and Back to Bataan (1945). Late in his career he tangIed with James Bond in The Man With the GoIden Gun (1974).
