Doctor Edward Jenner, born in the early eighteenth century, was the
discoverer of a preventive for smallpox, the greatest killer of
mankind. This contagious disease destroys its victims in 10 to 14
days. Those who survive frequently are left horribly scarred or
partially or completely blind.
The story of Doctor Jenner and smallpox is told by guests at a
dinner party at an old English home, on the evening of the 180th
anniversary of Doctor Jenner's death. To celebrate the occasion,
the individuals review his life story, including his many
discoveries and the trials and tribulations associated with
smallpox vaccination being accepted as the way to prevent smallpox.
Jenner eventually received universal acclaim. The guests at the
dinner party, in the process of telling the story of Doctor Jenner,
reveal a great deal about themselves.
