What a Woman Will Do (1912)
Mr. Woods is taken ill. A physician is called, who examines Woods. He leads Mrs. Woods into the hallway and says that a specialist is necessary. While talking, Nell, Mrs. Woods' sister leaves, being called out of town suddenly. She kisses Mrs. Woods goodbye, and Woods, ignorant of Nell's departure, hears the kiss from his bed, and becomes suspicious of his wife and the physician. Woods, poverty stricken, writes a note to Dr. Forrest, the specialist, to aid him. Dr. Forrest has a patient who has been burned, and who advertises for a piece of human skin off the forearm, offering the sum of $500 for it. Mrs. Woods takes her husband's note to the doctor, who refuses aid unless she consents to sell the needed area of skin off her arm. She yields, ordering the doctor not to tell her husband of her sacrifice. The doctor performs the operation upon Mrs. Woods, and also treats Woods, whose suspicions of his wife have by now become a belief. A week later, when the doctor tells Woods his wife has paid everything, the man is dumbfounded. When Mrs. Woods, recuperated, returns home and reluctantly shows her husband her scarred arm and her check, he is overcome with his own meanness. Nell, returning at this moment with good news, reconciles the couple.
