The necessity for illness is explained by the case of the Martinez family. Senora Martinez, although guiltless, is found by her husband in a compromising situation. With a bitter denunciation he orders her from his home, and even the pleading of their little daughter does not soften his heart. When it is finally proven to him that his wife is entirely innocent, Martinez is unable to find her to ask to be forgiven. Next his little daughter becomes ill from a peculiar complaint. The physician orders that a nurse be engaged and Martinez advertises. Senora Martinez, seeking employment, reads the ad and violates her decision never to return to her old home again. Reaching the house she rushes, unannounced, to the bedside. The heartbroken child is overjoyed and is resting happily in her mother's arms when Martinez enters the room and begs forgiveness. The happy family is united and the physician gives it as his opinion that the child's illness was fate's decree.
