Since his fiancée died of a badly diagnosed appendicitis, stern Surgeon Forster (Akim Tamiroff) has lived for science, not for sentiment. His efforts to hew Dr. Beaven (John Howard) in his own grim image are upset when the younger physician meets exotic, black-banged, slitherish Audrey (Dorothy Lamour).
