Explanation:

Mesmerized tells the story of an investigation by Benjamin Frankling into Dr. Mesmer's activities. This investigation needed to be done because Dr. Mesmer was promoting a very strange type of alternative medicine that was impressing people and causing them to abandon real doctors to treat themselves with Dr. Mesmer, but Dr. Mesmer’s methods, they were in fact not effective and needed to be investigated.
