The AMA Investigates

Frances Feist doesn't feel well. Oh, it's probably nothing to worry about. When you get older, you get a few aches and pains. But there's an advertisement in the local paper offering to tell you what wrong with you by a new scientific method for free. So she sends in the required sample, and soon she is int he hands of a quack doctor . He extracts hundreds of dollars from her, and she feels worse and worse. Finally her husband goes to their doctor, who notifies the American Medical Association. They begin an investigation.

Most of Centron's films are ten minutes or perhaps as long as 18. This one runs almost 30 minutes in length. That's undoubtedly because it was paid for by the American Medical Association to warn people about quacks. In many ways, it resembles MGM's CRIME DOES NOT PAY series that ran from the middle of the 1930s through the late 1940s.
