She loses the man she loves to her glamorous sister, Bonnie. He in his turn loses his most precious possession and it is Bonnie, not Compy, who goads him into regaining his self-respect. A young minister rescues Compy from danger and wants to marry her but she must turn him down. or give up hope of becoming a doctor. Compy has to take orders from a demanding surgical resident she despises (the feeling is mutual) and she tries to bear his unceasing criticism with fortitude. Only time reveals his true character.
