Veterinarian Eric Gustavson is supposed to heal a traumatized mare on the estate of widow Jane Hamilton. The animal is behaving very aggressively and doesn't even let other horses near her. But widow Jane also thinks that Eric would cope as a handsome second husband. But the veterinarian is attacked by the mare and lands in hospital. While there he falls in love with the doctor who is looking after him. This enrages the widow.—chris hager, switzerland
