Dr. Andrew Manson, (Robert Donat) is a new doctor who comes to a mining town for his new position and has a hard time starting out, but he soon becomes accepted by the mine union and he obtains a foot hold in the town. However, the union wanted a doctor who is married, because they are also furnishing a large home. Dr. Andrew had met a young lady who was a teacher and all of a sudden, he asks Christine, (Rosalind Russell) if she will marry him, even though he does not even know her name or anything else about her. Dr. Andrew becomes very interested in the problems that the miner's are having with their lungs and starts to make studies with animals and is even able to write a medical journal on the breathing conditions in the mine. This is a very interesting story and Dr. Andrew has many ups and downs to go though before the end of this film.
