- Narrator: As doctors are human, so there may be in their hearts the wish that some things just couldn't be. But as doctors are men of science, dedicated to the welfare of all their fellow beings, that wish must give way to a review of the facts. And the facts leave no room for wishful thinking. In the long years of his practice, Dr. Sam has too often seen the final tragedy of latent, untreated syphilis.
- Special Investigator John Camp: Naw, you didn't get syphilis from a toilet seat, Bill. You got it from sexual intercourse with someone who had it.
- Narrator: With Dr. Sam's help, Lynne Caulwin will be cured of the physical disease, although she may never be free of its emotional consequences.
