Dr. Penning's popularity among women equals his professional skill, but it will be Nina, a colleague's daughter, who will win his heart. Very soon after their marriage she will learn that she "will only have him when patients don't want him" - and that means mainly women patients. Nina's mother had to face a similar situation. There's also a handsome and sympathetic Viennese colleague around. Each woman takes her own choice to cope with what being a doctor's wife implies.
