Summary:
New doctors Mary Stevens and Don Andrews launch their practices in the same medical building, where Mary dedicates herself to her patients while facing constant prejudice for being a woman. Despite Mary's love for him, Don falls for Lois Rising, the daughter of a powerful politician, and the two eventually marry, leaving a brokenhearted Mary to move on and focus on her work. As Mary becomes a successful pediatrician, Don's marriage deteriorates, driving him to drink and eventually threatening his career. Escaping to a resort, he unexpectedly runs into Mary, and they rekindle their old love. But when Mary finds herself pregnant while scandalously unwed, she's faced with a dilemma that could destroy everything she's achieved.
