A British doctor is forced to leave England after three of his patients die during experimental treatment. He boards a freighter from Liverpool and lands in the Canary Islands. He encounters Lady Mary Fielding, the wife of one of the wealthiest landowners in the area, and explains to her that the patients died before he could administer his new serum to them, and he has been falsely scapegoated by the medical profession. When a yellow fever outbreak threatens the health of many on the island, including Lady Fielding, he takes a key role in quelling the disease. In this time he bonds with Suzan Tranter, running a medical mission, whom he has known for some years. Lady Fielding returns to her husband and the doctor finds happiness with Susan.
