The plot line followed the true story of the famous "Walter Reed Boards" in which Major Walter Reed of the U.S. Army heroically pursued the conquest of yellow fever (called “yellow jack”) in Cuba in 1898-1900. The play and screenplay were adapted for television by Celanese Theatre (1952) and Producers Showcase'' (1955), in episodes both again titled “Yellow Jack”.
