She and patient Eugene fall in love, but she bungles during an operation and he’s blinded. Her next boyfriend Bob dies in a diving accident. Lois feels guilty but her sessions with Edward cure her. When Edward proposes marriage, she’s afraid she’ll subconsciously harm him. Edward puts her to a risky test and she passes, so they can now wed.

Wealthy Spencer is engaged to society girl Agatha. At his bachelor party, Spencer criticizes singer Mary and she makes a scene in the club and is fired as a result.
