Movie Info

Young Dr. Kildare (Lew Ayres) presses his exhausted mentor, Dr. Gillespie (Lionel Barrymore), to go on a much-needed vacation while he takes a case caring for the daughter of Wall Street tycoon Paul Messenger (Lionel Atwill). Kildare pretends to be a friend of the family to examine Nancy (Helen Gilbert) and learns she has blinding headaches. After the housekeeper confides that she has told Nancy she has a tumor like the one that killed her mother, Kildare struggles to make a proper diagnosis.
