A doctor gets into an awful mess when he accepts a patient from two strangers. The patient has been beaten to death, the strangers just pull off without paying, the doctor calls the police, the police has a murder case, they ask him to identify the two strangers from the police records, he does so, and they are professional killers. Their big boss is bound to send hired killers all over the country to hunt for the doctor, who has to find another life, which he does up in the mountains at a hunters' lodge. There he gets mixed up with an old veteran colonel and his lovely daughter, and they fall in love. Meanwhile the gangsters have picked up his scent, and things get hot up in the mountains at the approaching settlement. Yes, there are some shootings also, but not everyone gets killed. It's a good thriller about the awful dilemma of a doctor, who just has to cure patients whoever they are and in whatever circumstances. The doctor can't refuse. Doctor Mudd got into a similar predicament when he helped the murderer of Abraham Lincoln, without knowing anything. This could happen to any doctor. Never accept patients from strangers.
