Description: A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production available only to schools. "Joe Gilchrist and Fred Banting are young medical students who, against great obstacles and older doctors, still strive fruitlessly to save them from the ravages of sugar sickness. "Countless attempts and experiments follow. His theory is that the precious fluid of the pancreas gland injected into the blood of dying diabetic sufferers may cure them. Eventually the extract is ready. They experiment so on dying dogs. Dr. Banting persuades himself to try on some of their patients. Premature news of Banting's discovery is published and he is rushed to London. His theory is that scientific knowledge will be of assistance in reporting his reactions and symptoms." "Gilchrist's return to health is dramatically pictured. The battle has been won." "Recommended for general science classes as well as health classes and College preparatory courses. The photography, direction and commentary combine to present a dramatic, forceful story." Advisory committee
