A young surgeon, on sick call at the railroad yards, sees a little girl killed by a train. While he is describing the fatality to his sweetheart, her father, the president of the road, is in the next room, ordering the claim agents to make no settlement with the child’s parents. The young man’s denunciations are overheard by the girl’s father and he is ordered out of the house. Next day, while the girl is motoring to town to meet him, her automobile is struck by a train and she is carried to the hospital, where her lover’s skill saves her life. Her father, called back from a trip in his private car, rushes to the hospital and, at sight of his daughter, realizes his injustice to the dead child’s parents and to the young surgeon.
