A dedicated doctor tries to make room in his life for a beautiful woman from China.

It is the one great moving force that we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucible.” Sir William was a man of fact and research, a tireless seeker after scientific truth yet he never ceased to admit the existence of forces greater than his scalpel could reveal. This Lux radio play disputes this passage or rather puts it to the test in one of the screens most moving stories from Lloyd Douglas’s book Disputed Passage. (…)
