Prisoner in paradise

"A young man of doubtful parentage struggles to become a physician but is railroaded to prison for a murder he did not commit. When he is released in 1941, he has become a cynic, and founds in Los Angeles the popular 'Healthopathy Clinic,' where a gathering of medical quacks and cultists minister to a host of neurotic patients, many from the Hollywood colony."--Baird & Greenwood.
