In the years following World War I, sketchily educated Kansas physician John Romulus Brinkley would parlay his theories about goat testicle implantation as an impotence cure--and his acquisition of a radio station where he could push them--into a business empire and a pair of gubernatorial runs. This largely animated, headshake-inducing documentary looks at the improbable rise--and ultimate fall due to a nemesis AMA--of one of American medical history's most notorious quacks. 79 min. Widescreen; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
