Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman star in this romantic drama directed by Douglas Sirk. Doctors attending an accident in which Bob Merrick (Hudson), a spoilt rich man, has crashed his speedboat through negligence are thus unable to save the life of local physician Dr. Phillips.

Phillips was a kind, giving man who selflessly saved many lives and bettered the lot of many locals. Learning this, Merrick is inspired to take up Phillips´ good work in atonement but his initial efforts are clumsy and do more harm than good. As he commits to becoming a doctor, he finds himself falling in love with Dr.

Phillips´ widow Helen (Wyman). Barbara Rush and Otto Kruger also star
