- Dr. Dick Ainsworth, has been made a member of a hospital staff. He meets and falls in love with Fannie Jones, one of the nurses. Dick proposes to her, is accepted and decides to marry her at once. But, as he has been largely dependent for his support upon his father, he concludes he had better obtain the paternal blessing upon his matrimonial alliance, so, escorts his intended to his father's office and after introducing her, he introduces the subject of his marriage. When Mr. Ainsworth learns the nature of his son's intentions he puts his foot down good and hard. The couple take their departure in a very unhappy frame of mind. But after their return to the hospital, the spirit of rebellion rises in Dr. Dick's bosom and he telephones his father that he is going to marry Miss Jones anyway. His parent, of course, receives this message in no very gentle frame of mind and starts for the hospital at high speed. In the meantime, a terrible railroad accident has occurred and all of the medical staff, with the exception of Dr. Dick, are hurriedly summoned to the scene of the disaster. Mr. Ainsworth, in rushing up to the entrance of the hospital, slips, falls and breaks his leg. He is carried inside, unconscious from pain and is duly operated upon by his son, assisted by Miss Jones and other attendants. Mr. Ainsworth, having recovered consciousness, and hearing their commendations upon the surgical work on his case, asks to see the surgeon who performed the operation. They send for Dr. Dick, who immediately spears and when he is introduced as the clever young man who did the work, the old man's heart is filled with thanksgiving at having such a gifted son who is, evidently, so well equipped with money-getting ability. Dick, of course is rewarded by receiving the long-sought paternal blessing.—Moving Picture World synopsis
