Mary Stevens (Kay Francis) and her old friend Don Andrews (Lyle Talbot) find themselves graduating from medical school at the same time. They decide to set up their respective medical offices in the same building. Mary builds her reputation despite many patients refusing to be treated by a woman. Don, however, begins dating Lois Cavanaugh (Thelma Todd), whose family is rich and influential, and neglects his practice for the privileges of a social life. Despite Mary's love for Don, he marries Lois and sets up a new office with a high class clientele. He also gives Mary a new office right next to his; while she ends up making a name for herself in the medical community, Don begins to pilfer funds from his practice. Jealousy and mistrust drive Mary and Don apart, seemingly for good. Two years go by and Mary, now a famous doctor, takes a much-needed vacation. While on vacation she runs into Don, who is now on the lam from the authorities. Mary and Don have an affair, and Don tries to get a divorce. Lois is willing but her father doesn't want the Cavanaugh name mixed up in any scandal. He clears Don's name and gets all charges against Don dropped, on the condition that Don will not divorce Lois for at least six months. When Mary finds herself pregnant with Don's child and Don unable to marry her, she must decide whether she should tell Don or raise the child on her own. Its a year that he can t divorce Lois and their baby dies while on the ship. Very harsh. Mary is caught in the act of suicide and saves a child in the final scene. Mary gains her confidence back and all is good.

Após ver um filme como esse onde Kay Francis entrega em desempenho tão sublime, chega a causar revolta a forma como ela foi tratada por Jack Warner posteriormente. É um excelente Pre-Code, que aborda o papel da mulher em um ambiente onde ela não era bem-vinda. Logo no início do filme, há uma cena onde um personagem masculino recusa-se a acreditar que uma doutora fará o parto de sua mulher e a ameaça de morte, caso ela falhe e claro, ela faz muito bem seu papel, provando estar ali por ser eficiente. A partir de então, a personagem terá que se impor para ser respeitada. Mais à frente,, o filme aborda o papel da mulher como mãe solteira, em como ela era malvista, as mentiras que eram contadas para a maternidade ser aceita e todo o peso disso em suas costas. O filme tem sua parte folhetinesca, mas a ousadia do período está impressa na maior parte de sua duração. E a atuação de Kay Francis, sempre elegante, é a cereja do bolo.
