In the early 20th century, Dr. Lao brings his circus to the town of Abalone. The town is under threat due to a break in the water supply system and wealthy businessman is prepared to buy them all out. What he doesn't tell anyone is that the railroad will run through the town in less than a year's time.
Part fantasy, part allegory, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964) is based on a rather dark and pessimistic novel by Charles Finney, a former proofreader turned novelist from Tucson, Arizona. The original book, The Circus of Dr. Lao , was Finney's first effort and created a literary sensation upon publication.
