Nurse has a sturdy admirer who sends them flying in all directions. Finally Cookie, who uses crutches, thrashes the muscular man until he is almost done for. This is seen by a trustee, who tells Cookie he must have $10 or he will tell on him. Cookie has no money and is worried. The injured man's only chance for recovery is to have blood transfused into his veins. The hospital authorities offer $10 for a volunteer. All refuse, but as the guilty Cookie is threatened with exposure by the trusty unless he gives him $10, he volunteers for the operation. The operation proceeds. As Cookie grows weaker he pinches the tube and stops the flow of blood from his veins and grows stronger. The doctors remedy this and conclude the operation. Cookie gives the trustee the $10. The invalid regains his strength and asks to see the noble stranger that gave his blood so he could live for vengeance. Neither suspect the identity of the other. They meet and the muscular one assaults Cookie, who fires pistol shots at him. Confusion reigns as the patients flee in all directions. Finally, after a protracted battle, the rivals sink exhausted to the floor and the fumes of chloroform waft them into slumberland. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
