Eugenic plot threads through a village drama
In spring 1900 Professor Miles Stilliter and Gordon Barclay scheme to use a girl’s future to advance a population control gospel. A tragedy looms as John Amesbury’s death and a nurse’s caution collide with Stilliter’s aggressive plans. Tommy Barclay befriends the Amesbury child, while Dr. Wainwright eyes the girl for eugenic study.
