Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
In this melodrama, a doctor searching for a cure for cancer seems to be on the verge of success when disaster strikes. After some promising results in the lab, the doctor soon finds out that his colleagues are not quite as enthusiastic about his discoveries as he is. He then gets sick with a virulent form of cancer, yet he and his fiancée heroically decide to marry in spite of his poor prognosis. His epic battles with the illness and with his recalcitrant fellow researchers continue to the bitter end.
