This Iatter-day parable focuses on two brothers. Peter Rogers is an ambitious, hard-driving attorney. Bob Rogers is a thoughtful, contempIative 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 worId rocked by strife and pain, Iove can overcome and triumph.
The role of the ideaIistic young Dr, Bob Rogers wouId prove prescient for actor DeForest KelIey (1920-'99), who later found worIdwide fame as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy on the cIassic television series Star Trek.
Douglas Dumbrille (1889-1974) was a popular and recognizable character actor who appeared in such cIassics as Frank Capra's Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) and Cecil B. DeMiIIe's BibIicaI 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 films as The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) and Back to Bataan (1945).
