Dr. Carlo Marcabienti an aging doctor who treats the peasents of a country village is visited by his son, Dr. Angelo Marcabienti, himself a doctor practicing at a city hospital. It is the dead of winter and a snow storm rages. Angelo, concerned for his aging father's health, set's out on a two mile walk to treat one of his father's patients.
The simple peasants do not trust the young doctor and refuse to let him treat their sick little girl until the elder doctor is in attendance. The son sends for his father, who is sleeping at home. When the elder doctor arrives the girl is successfully treated for diptheria. The elder doctor speaks not a single word as his son attends to the young patient.
The young doctor makes his way home and engages his father in conversation about the patient. To his dismay, he learns that his father never left home to assist him and was sleeping the entire time. Angelo struggles to make sense of this strange occurrence.
Carlo does not, however, question the inexplicable event. His simple faith and a lifetime of experience let him suspend reason.
In time, Angelo leaves his city practice and joins his father's practice attending to the simple village peasants.
The role of Dr. Carlo Marcabienti is played by Boris Karloff.

You have made my day Sharon. I thought this was a great episode five minutes into it. I love the story line and the mood. I had it up on my old channel but it didn't get much of a response. Thank you :)
