Le Lien sacré (1939)
Jeune avocat, John Mason tombe amoureux de la jolie Jane. Il l'épouse, malgré la désapprobation de sa mère et les réticences de son patron, le juge Doolitle, qui aurait préféré qu'il s'unisse avec sa fille Eunice. Celle-ci se marie avec un autre avocat, Carter. John espère devenir l'associé de Doolitle au sein du cabinet, mais il apprend au cours d'un dîner que Carter lui a été préféré. À ces déboires professionnels s'ajoute un drame personnel : le bébé qu'il a eu avec Jane est atteint d'une grave maladie. Seul l'acquisition d'un sérum très coûteux pourrait sauver l'enfant...
