In the latter part of this silent drama is shown to the smallest detail the exact reproduction of that famous painting, which is now hung in Tate's Gallery, London, and which won its painter universal fame. Around this painting has been woven a sweet love story which opens in the firelight glow when the famous specialist, Doctor Gray, bends lovingly over the hand of his lady love and wins her consent to their union. Though there is quite a difference between their ages, yet the sweet little lady knows, when she looks into his eyes, that she is placing her life in strong, tender hands and that all will be will with her. Suddenly the spectator is confronted with a sharp contrast to this tender scene of love and happiness, in a view of one in which sorrow and anguish prevail. We are shown a simple, humble home with father and mother watching the life tide ebb away from their darling child, lying upon a poor, improvised cot before them. In desperation the father goes forth to seek Doctor Gray, the famous specialist, and begs him to come and save this little life. This, by chance transpires upon the night on which Doctor Gray's wedding is to be announced, and he is all dressed to leave when the heart-broken father makes his appeal for aid. It isn't money or fame that wins the doctor over to his duty, but pure, human sympathy; and he goes to the humble home to fight with death while his sweetheart is watching and waiting for him to come to the gay reception at her home. At last news comes to her that he will be unable to attend. Her pride is struck to the quick and, wounded in her heart, she determines to go herself and see why she is thus forgotten in the hour of her greatest happiness. She goes and sees why she has been forgotten, and her heart goes out to the great, noble man who has won the fight and who has saved the little child's life.
