Dedicated to "the memory of Florence Nightingale", the plot concerns the travails and romances of young women as they study to become nurses. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The only surviving print is located at the UCLA film archive. The print is in rough shape; several frames are out of alignment, at times, while the whole picture looks bleached out and very fuzzy. As well, near the end of the film, a sign pops up indicating "reel 7".
