Dr. Eli Watt (Lionel Barrymore) practices in a small New England town. Many of the townspeople are poor and cannot afford to pay for medical care, but Eli still selflessly serves the community. When his wife dies in childbirth, widower McGinnis (David Landau) wants nothing to do with his new baby daughter, Letty, so Eli agrees to raise her. When she grows up, Letty (Dorothy Jordan) returns to her father, but Eli continues to care for her, and helps Letty through her troubled marriage.
