Synopsis
Smallpox! and suddenly its a city of 80,000 suspects
Tension and drama as two dedicated doctors face not only a possible smallpox epidemic, but also a crisis that looks likely to wreck both their marriages. Doctors Steven Monks and Clifford Preston (Richard Johnson and Michael Goodliffe) are too professional to let personal matters affect their work. But Steven's wife Julie (Claire Bloom) has more time to brood over her husband's suspected affair with Clifford's wife Ruth (Yolande Donlan). The intensifying situation gradually brings strong emotions smouldering to the surface. And the doctors find they are fighting to save not only a frightened city, but also their threatened marriages.
