Synopsis
As a child, George Rameau loses his faith in God when he prays that his mother be protected from his drunken father's beating and she is struck by lightning and killed. Years later, Rameau, now the most famous surgeon in Paris, weds Conchita Roland, who marries him at the insistence of her mother. When Conchita falls in love with Rameau's friend, Paul Munzell, Dr. Talavanne, a friend of both Rameau and Munzell, succeeds in separating them. After Conchita gives birth to a daughter, Adrian, Munzell dies in an accident which causes Conchita to die of shock. Rameau shuts her room off and lovingly raises Adrian until he finds hidden in Conchita's desk love letters implying that Adrian is Munzell's daughter. Unbalanced, Rameau drives Adrian into a storm and she falls deathly ill. After Dr. Talavanne persuades Rameau to treat her, he realizes his love for her and prays for her recovery. After she is saved, Rameau kneels in front of an altar.
