On his way to the station, however, he happens to notice a charming girl, whom he later sees buy a ticket to Centerville. He decides that Centerville is the place for him to start practicing medicine, and accordingly purchases a ticket. In Centerville an old couple are awaiting the return of their daughter, Molly, who has been attending school in the city. Molly and the doctor get acquainted on the train. Molly is met at the station by her brother and an old sweetheart, who is annoyed at seeing her with the doctor. The young doctor is invited to call at Molly's home. Later finding himself "cut out" by the doctor, the country sweetheart remonstrates with father, who has always favored his suit. Father orders the doctor out, but the young people, assisted by Molly's brother, arrange to so closely counterfeit an accident to Molly that they are not discovered, and Jack, being the only doctor within five miles, is necessarily called in to attend the case. Thus it is that the young people manage to spend a great deal of time in each other's company. Jack, by a clever ruse, convinces Molly's father that she will never walk again, and then pretends to discover a remedy to cure her. Her father is so happy at the prospect of his daughter recovering the use of her limbs that he tells the young doctor he can have her if he cures her. A cure of course is speedily effected. A confession of the deception follows, and the young folks finally gain forgiveness from the girl's father. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
