"Dear Doctor" takes place in a remote town in the middle of the countryside. It’s nighttime and creatures lurking in the rice fields croak and murmur in the darkness. A man riding into town on a bicycle along a poorly lit road stops and puts on a doctor’s coat he finds lying on the ground. He continues cycling all the way to the clinic where a cluster of elderly villagers and police officers question him. Where did he find the coat? Where’s the doctor it’s normally attached to? Lieutenant Yoshifumi Okayasu (Ryo Iwamatsu) and Sergeant Hatano (Yutaka Matushige) are on the case. The man they are looking for is Dr. Osamu Ino (Tsurube Shofukutei), a fifty-something unassuming-looking chap and he has been the town’s only doctor for a few years.
