The Indian Doctor

The Sharmas anxiously await the arrival of Pushpa, Kamini’s judgmental mother, for an extended visit. An evangelical preacher hopes to win some converts in the village but struggles to control his wayward daughter, especially when she befriends young troublemaker Dan.

Prem finds himself under pressure to track down and save Dan before it's too late. Facing the threat of a small-pox epidemic, Prem has to battle both the ineptitude of the health authorities and the ignorance of locals. Trefelin's evangelist minister refuses to be vaccinated and openly defies Prem's attempts to contain the virus, the conflict between them threatens to divide the village.

Trefelin is deserted as Prem waits for a vaccination unit to arrive from Cardiff. But Reverend Todd is still determined that only he can save the village. While Prem tries in vain to round up the villagers for immediate vaccination, Todd discovers his daughter Verity's affair with a married man and decides on a severe punishment.

With Trefelin under quarantine, provisons are running low. Despite Prem's attempts to piece together the evidence, the real source of the outbreak is still unknown, it seems that Dan knows more than he's letting on about how he fell ill. Megan is helping Emlyn keep law and order and, between them, they come up with a plan to get more food from the next village.

At a Press Conference reporters are assured that the outbreak of Smallpox in Trefelin is finally under control. But Prem is not convinced that they have managed to locate the real source of the disease and so the village is still not safe. Reverend Todd struggles to maintain his authority, not least over his wayward daughter Verity, who he has locked away from prying eyes.
