After an examination Dr. Thane announces that he can cure Jim of his lameness. The operation is performed and to everyone's joy, proves entirely successful. Jo's gratitude is very touching and it develops into an intense love and devotion for the young doctor. Thane, on his part, finds he is in love with Jo, and spends many weary hours fighting over his love, and the ties which bind him to Vivian. His important experimental work in connection with a tubercular serum turns out a complete success. Elated, he asks Vivian to come to his laboratory to view his triumph.

Her lack of interest and childish remarks chill Thane, and after the party has gone he experiences an awakening to the true character of Vivian.

Jo nurses Thane back to health, and when all danger is passed and Vivian condescends to visit him, she finds Jo in Thane's arms. With a disdainful air she leaves the two to their happiness.
