Summary

Description	This film stars Edward G. Robinson as Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Erhlich, who developed a cure for syphilis. Erhlich and his colleagues experiment on animals with chemicals to develop cures for various diseases, which eventually leads to finding a link between these earlier experiments and the search for a “magic bullet” to cure venereal disease. Erhlich also struggles to maintain funding and support for his work. After a successful test in a human patient, the cure is then mass-produced and made available to the world. Unfortunately, the exhaustion from all of this work catches up with Erhlich. Credits: Producer, Jack L. Warner ; director, William Dieterle. Cast: Edward G. Robinson.
