Subject: The Doctor Will Mill You Now
Oops. I had somehow downloaded the first two parts without realizing that Part 3 was not availible for downloading. Oh well, might as well review the incomplete version...
A newfangled doctor realizes the potential for a presence in the mill, where so many accidents seem to happen. His Father, also a doctor, doesnt like the sound of this one bit, as it will cut down on patients coming to see him and other doctors. The young doctor makes up his mind though, and starts work at the mill. Soon, all the doctors ignore him, his father disowns him, but the young doctor perserveres, his faithful wife by his side. This is where the film ended. We are still wondering if the Father and son will reconcile (but that's pretty easy to figure out in a Jam Handy film) and other minor issues. Pretty entertaining and well acted.
