If you are crying for a laugh—visit Dr. Jack! If you need a new joy thrill, consult Dr. Jack. If you want to laugh until you are weak—see Dr. Jack.
A lighthearted silent-era comedy about a country doctor's rivalry with a fraudulent sanitarium operator, built on physical humor, romantic charm, and the triumph of genuine care over exploitation.
Country doctor Jack Jackson is called in to treat the Sick-Little-Well-Girl, who has been making Dr. Saulsbourg and his sanitarium very rich after years of unsuccessful treatment.
