Raised in the lowly confines of South Boston, Lydia goes to work in an upscale department store, where she meets medical student Henry Wickett, the neurasthenic scion of a Brahmin family. The two soon marry. With a newfound robustness that he attributes to Lydia's love, Henry decides to chuck his studies and create an elixir to combat loneliness.
