He is sent, under the care of a trained nurse to an eastern specialist, Doctor Fitzhuggins. The nurse is given a letter to deliver to the doctor in which statement of the patient's case is made. The doctor's niece, journeying on a visit to her uncle, is on the same train which carries the patient. She has been persecuted by the attentions of Jack Merryweather, a drummer. She finally takes refuge in the same compartment in which the patient and nurse are riding, and from the nurse she learns the condition of the nurse's companion. At a wayside station the patient effects his escape; the nurse is overwhelmed with dismay. She leaves the train in pursuit of the patient, and in doing so, drops the letter. The niece, picking up the letter, determines she will deliver it to her uncle. Arrived at her destination the niece finds herself followed by Jack. He accompanied her home. He seeks an introduction to her uncle, presenting himself in his real capacity. He is trying to interest the doctor in his wares when the niece enters the room. She presents the letter to her uncle and points Jack out as the patient. Jack endeavors to explain, the doctor humors him and finally has him placed under restraint. Meanwhile the nurse has recovered her charge and brings him to the home of the doctor. Leaving him for an instant he takes possession of Jack's bag of samples and on the arrival of the doctor presents his wares. The nurse in vain endeavors to explain. Jack is brought from his ward and sensing danger of an immediate separation from the girl he loves, he lies. He assumes a fit of dementia, the effect of which is to confirm, the doctor has Jack removed and turns to the patient to discover that Jack's assumed fit has thrown the patient into one of his paroxysms. He places the patient under restraint. Jack escapes from his ward and leaves the house. That evening Jack attends a ball given to welcome home the niece. He is presented by his mother to the niece. She is greatly struck by Jack's resemblance to himself. The young people engage in a mild flirtation and on the breaking up of a dance. Jack obtains the niece's consent to see her home. Arriving at the house, Jack escapes having been discovered, he is immediately seized and is about to be incarcerated in his old quarters, when the niece, finding her heart has been won by him, tells the truth and the story closes with the doctor shaking hands with Jack and giving his consent to the union of the happy pair.
