Dr. J. R. Crawford has established his medical practice. While very busy with patients, he has also finds time to mentor a number of people and continue his role as medical adviser to St. Marks College where he is present during all Friday afternoon corporal punishment sessions.
Dr. Crawford became engaged to the beautiful Janet Robbins in the second book; Dr. Discipline: Courtship. Now he weds her and they spend a week honeymooning at a magnificent seaside resort. While most of their time is spent in their hotel room exploring each other, on the last day of their honeymoon, James shows his new bride that his belt isn't for just holding up his pants.
While attending the paddling of Sarah Roberts, he gets an invitation to visit Headmaster Brand's brother in the United States. Ben Brand is principal of a large high school in Georgia and Dr. Crawford learns first-hand what American discipline is all about both at school and at home.
Always the business man, Dr. Crawford attracts new patients to his clinic before or after he mentors them. When he and Janet discover students John and Victoria performing a sexual act in the forested area of St. Marks, they are both given a painful choice to make and he insists that the young woman present herself for her first pelvic.
Dr. Crawford understands that treatment can sometimes be unpleasant and painful whether it's a dose of medicine administered by injection or a dose of the cane. Both may give his patients a sore bottom, but both provide necessary cure!
