Malady of Love

Mad love. Two physicians, one old and one young, fall in love with the same woman, Juliette, a quixotic hairdresser. First, she is with Raoul, the older one; then passion for Clement, the younger doctor, takes over. Raoul fights back, playing on Clement's guilt and Juliette's lack of self-assurance; then, Clement makes his case to Juliette, abandons his fiancee, and takes her to the provinces where he sets up practice and asks her to have a baby. She panics and abruptly leaves Clement, taking up with Raoul again. When she contracts Hodgkin's disease and the treatment does no good, Raoul believes she has the malady of love. Is there a cure?
