Today's Cavalcade presents the story of a victory that ranks as a truly great scientific achievement - a victory won after more than a hundred years of search, struggle and personal sacrifice. It is the story of man's attempts over the years to make Quinine synthetic or to develop a substitute - and the two scientists who finally succeeded, where so many had failed.
