When the Crime Doctor heads to the boonies for a week of fishing and hunting, it is only a matter of time before murder follows. What starts off as a series of typhoid cases resulting in quarantine reveals murder. So far, so smart, but not for long. These country folk all have secret resentments, and when one of them dies of something other than typhoid, the backwoods doctor is made out to be the top suspect.
There is obviously a reason why one film press agent wrote, "Hicks Nix Stykx Pix", and this just gets more and more ridiculous as it uncovers such idiot hokum as corn whiskey, home-made medical remedies and a town fair that of course ends up with a square dance. The creators were stretching this series to the max with this entry that would insult the residents of TV's Bugtustle and Petticoat Junction. Not to mention that this was a re-tread of a plot similar to 1932's "The Circus Queen Murder" where detective Adolph Menjou also headed to the country for a vacation and ended up involved in murder as well.
