Bolt the doors! Lock the windows! Dr. Lao’s coming to town!

Imagine a dusty Western town on a hot summer afternoon. Suddenly, a bearded man named Dr. Lao appears out of nowhere, perched atop a yellow mule, and prepared to change the town forever with his magical, mystical circus. So begins this enchanting fantasy adventure, starring Tony Randall in the most remarkable role of his career. Who is Dr. Lao and why has he ridden into Abalone to present his unique circus? Before the answers are revealed, the astonished townspeople are shown Dr. Lao's dazzling series of parables and visions. In make-up so extraordinary that it received a special Academy Award® (for M-G-M's legendary William Tuttle), the good doctor assumes different guises that range from the Abominable Snowman to Merlin the Magician. By the time he vanishes, people learn a lot about pride and self-resilience. Co-starring Barbara Eden and John Ericson, based on the popular novel by Charles G. Finney, and produced and directed by special effects wizard, the legendary George Pal.
