One day, while she is out riding, her horse is spooked and runs away. A young man who happens to be a physician, rescues her unhurt, and after he has taken her home, it is clear that she has run away with her heart. Now it is doctor against doctor, in a game of love. Of course, the elder man has the advantage of intimacy with the girl, but the other is not at all deterred. Some time later the girl's guardian applies for life insurance, and who is the examining physician for the company but the young man. His rival in love visit him as an applicant for insurance, and departs. He has not been at home long, however, before he gets a notification that his application for insurance is rejected because his lungs are affected. It is a terrible blow to the man, and as is usual in such cases, he thinks his plight more serious than it really it. The knowledge that he is not a healthy man preys on his mind continually. The girl sees that he is worried, but he does not tell her why. The solitary brooding affects him more and more, until he finally makes an attempt at suicide. He swallows the contents of a vial while seated in his study. His groans arouse the girl, and she dashes into the room. While she is frantically trying to bring him to, the young physician enters. A glance at the limp form and another at his own letter of rejection now on the man's desk, and he sends the girl from the room. Not it is in his power to either allow the poison to do its work and thus remove a dangerous rival, or else to sacrifice his love on the altar of medical ethics. It seems that there is a great struggle within him, but he finally sets to work with a vim to rescue the man. He is successful in saving a human life, and perhaps that is a consolation when, some time later, he packs his grip and goes away from the scene of as stirring a romance as ever was written in Cupid's records.
