...solemn, psychoanalytical excursion into a midwest university town, demonstrating that Main Street has as many civilized perplexities as Park Avenue. It has to do with the appearance of a distinguished Canadian doctor (Herbert Marshall) at the university as a summer lecturer. He resides at the home of a childless, exquisite, subtly dissatisfied young matron (Zita Johann). He perceives that she is "an artist without an art," and, more particularly, a woman without a child.

A self-made man marries the daughter of an impoverished business acquaintance; she eventually falls in love with him, he will never admit that he loves her. But when she dies, he kills himself...
...Married, childless, tall, gaunt, white-haired but young-faced, Col. William Cooper Procter is the man who guides the destinies of Ivory Soap, his company's most famed product. His military title was won in the Ohio National Guard. Later at the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Plattsburg, he became the firm friend of General Leonard Wood, whom he supported for the Presidential nomination.
