Twelve-year-old James sits in his bedroom in Ann Arbor, Mich., on a cool spring day in 1924. He has been feeling a little under the weather over the last two days and his mother is worried he might be coming down with a cold. However, rather than having to bring him to the doctors office, today the familys new Radio Doctor will see the boy in his own bed, in his own home under the watchful eye of his loving mother, teasing brother and at the direction of his caring Dr. McMorris at the local University.
