While seeking medical help for her dying father, Dr. Mark Wyndram, Nina finds Dr. Judson Penning in a taxi and rushes him to her home. Judson, however, is unable to save Nina's father. When Nina tells Judson that she wants to be a doctor, he offers her a job as a laboratory assistant at his clinic. After Judson overhears Nina complaining about the lack of interest he is taking in her, he invites her to dinner and she accepts. Though Nina's mother, Julia, warns her about the dangers of becoming involved with physicians and tells her that she will be neglected because doctors are always on call, Nina disregards her advice and marries Judson. Soon after the wedding, Julia's predictions prove true and the doctor is called away at an inopportune moment. One evening, Nina and Judson visit Judson's friend, Dr. Kane Ruyter. When Kane shows Nina his collection of musical instruments and shares his philosophy of life with her, she is genuinely impressed. Kane tells Nina that he believes that a man must choose between women and work and never attempt to attend to both. Nina continues to take interest in Kane, who she realizes is a true romantic in search of sincere love. Frustrated by her husband's inattentiveness, Nina tries to discuss the problem with him, but before they can resolve anything the doctor is called away to another emergency. Suspicious about his ill-timed and frequent emergency calls, Nina follows her husband on a call and finds his patient, a woman, making a violent play for him. Having had her suspicions confirmed, Nina leaves a note on Judson's car informing him that she has left him. Though he has no evidence to prove that his wife has been unfaithful, Judson assumes that she has left him for Kane. Later, when Kane becomes ill and is rushed to the hospital in need of emergency surgery, Judson, the only man capable of operating on him, is assigned to the surgery. A delicate and complicated operation ensues with Nina officiating as Judson's nurse. In a private moment with Nina, Kane tells her that her husband truly loves her and that he is indeed worthy of her love. The operation is a success and Nina returns to Judson, proud to be a doctor's wife. When the doctor gets another emergency call, he declines to respond to it until Nina takes the phone and tells the patient that her husband will be there immediately.
