- Abstract:
- This film featuring actress June Lockhart traces the story of Larry, a news reporter who is diagnosed with tuberculosis. He is ashamed, and unwilling to talk about it or follow his doctor's orders to go to a sanitorium. The film follows Larry as he tells his supportive fiancee, hears the stories of others, and begins to accept his diagnosis. Larry is admitted to a a pleasant-looking sanitorium with caring staff, but still has trouble adjusting. He is non-communicative and has nightmares. Eventually he does adjust and becomes more participatory, launching a sanitorium newsletter and making toys for children. He is released, healthy and with a new attitude towards TB and its treatment.
