A Norwegian doctor discovers that the source of the town's medicinal waters has become poisonous.

Set in a Norwegian hamlet, this adaptation of playwright Henrik Ibsen's potent drama stars James Daly as Thomas Stockmann, an idealistic physician who discovers that the town's hot springs are contaminated. But with the community relying on the spa for tourist dollars, his warning to the powers that be -- and a hostile citizenry -- fall on deaf ears. The supporting cast includes Philip Bosco, James Olson and Kate Reid as Daly's resolute spouse.
