Part 1 of The Resistible Rise of J. R. Brinkley.  It is the 1920's, and Dr. John R. Brinkley (Tony Torn) has a dream: to cure impotence by surgically inserting goat gonads into humans. The dream will take him from being an obscure doctor in Milford, Kansas to one of the most famous physicians in the country, with his own radio station to boot.  Afterwards, host Dan Butler interviews writer/director Edward Einhorn.
