Among her friends is Ann King (Fitzgerald), her secretary, and handsome young Alex Hamm (Reagan), who directs her toward brain specialist Dr. Frederick Steele (Brent). The doctor diagnoses her illness as one which will end her life within a year Judith falls in love with him and accepts his proposal of marriage When she discovers that her tumor is calamitous, she rejects the doctor's proposal considering it an act with compassion
