Plot: In honor of Mary's engagement to Robert, a young country doctor, her mother gives a dinner. Ethel, Mary's city cousin, attends the function. The girl engages in a violent flirtation with her cousin's fiancé. Mary later sees her sweetheart kiss Ethel. She bitterly reproaches Robert and breaks their engagement. At Ethel's instigation, the young doctor moves to the city, where he builds up a successful practice. A year later, Mary hears that Robert and Ethel have been married. Prostrated, the girl has an attack of brain fever. During her illness, Mary becomes deeply attached to her nurse and resolves upon nursing as a career. Upon her recovery, she goes to the city and enters a hospital. As time passes, Robert, despite the arrival of a daughter, is unhappy. Ethel is flighty and shallow, while her extravagance keeps him constantly in debt. Shortly afterward, the woman is killed in an automobile accident. The husband showers his affections upon his child. Several years later, little Helen is taken seriously ill. Robert sends for a nurse and Mary is assigned to the case. The discovery that it is Robert's child who needs her help, startles the girl. The sight of Mary brings back the doctor's old love for his former sweetheart. Mary, however, turns a deaf ear to Robert's avowals and because of Helen's love for her, aids greatly in saving the child's life. Upon Helen's recovery, Mary departs, leaving Robert heartbroken. The following night, Mary receives a message which tells her that Helen has had a relapse. She hastens to the little sufferer's side. Through the long night she and Robert fight for the life of his child. When morning dawns, all danger has passed. Realizing his great need of her, Mary consents to be Robert's wife.
