After showing great promise in two plays, Frank Elgin left the legitimate stage for the movies. While in Hollywood he lost confidence in himself. Unwilling to admit this failure, he passes the blame on to his wife through the bitter, shadowy years of obscurity. It is at this the play takes up his story. A young director who remembered Elgin's early success needs a leading man when his contracted star leaves a new play.

Besides these solids, there is the amber fluid (plasma), which contains a score or more different components, some already being used in medicine, others still in the research stage.
