Description
World War I veteran William Wilson has everything: loving wife, good health, Wall Street career -- and a "drinking problem." Penniless overnight when the stock market crashes, Bill quickly descends into a stormy sea of booze. Then he meets Bob Smith, an Ohio surgeon with the same "problem." Together they discover a way to stay sober -- one day at a time, and their mutual triumph would soon become the world's.
