Opis oryginalny: angielski
Dr. George Bullard, an impecunious but talented young surgeon, is offered, through the intervention of his wife, Esther, a very good position as general physician with the Mortentown Gas Company. With this start, and through the continued efforts of Esther, his career becomes one success after another. Under her stimulus, he effects numerous sensational cures. Then Esther goes to Mrs. Sylvia Sands, a wealthy young widow, to propose that Dr. Bullard be given charge of the new Sands Memorial Hospital. This has the effect of causing Dr. Bullard and Mrs. Sands to be much together. Bullard becomes infatuated with her. Esther falls seriously ill and the surgeon realizes that only a certain operation which his research has devised, can save her life. Moreover, Esther insists that her husband himself act as surgeon. At the last moment, Sylvia Sands comes to him and appeals to his old infatuation. Unnerved, he bungles the operation on his wife. The terrific ordeal has been too much for him and he is seized with a paralytic stroke. It is here that the question "Who's Guilty?" arises.
