A Match Made in Heaven

Helen, Tom's mother, goes to the hospital for her routine check-up and meets Jane Cronin, a new nurse. Helen is immediately taken by Jane's qualities, including her beauty, compassion, and sense of humor. This encounter sparks Helen's interest in helping her son find love.

Helen decides that Jane is the perfect match for her son Tom. She begins to encourage a relationship between them, despite Tom's initial reluctance. Helen's enthusiasm leads her to set up a date for Tom and Jane to test their chemistry.

Tom and Jane go out for their first date, which Helen hopes will spark a romantic connection. However, Tom mistakenly believes Jane likes him more than she does, while Jane finds the date socially uncomfortable and describes it as the worst experience since the dawn of man.

Despite initial awkwardness, Jane convinces Helen to allow a second date. This time, Tom and Jane enjoy a more successful interaction, but Tom remains hesitant to pursue a serious relationship, feeling unsure if he's the right man for Jane.

Helen strategically stokes jealousy in Tom to encourage him to see Jane again. Her manipulations succeed as Tom becomes more aware of his feelings for Jane, setting the stage for a deeper connection.

Helen receives the devastating news that her cancer has come back. Her illness prompts her to push Tom and Jane toward a relationship more aggressively, fearing she may not have much time left to see them happy together.

Tom, overwhelmed by his mother's illness and his feelings for Jane, goes out drinking and ends up dancing with a woman who persuades him to take her home. He soon realizes he's not interested and leaves, showing his internal conflict and confusion.

Jane, having been distant initially, begins to support Helen as her health declines. Despite her initial reservations, Jane offers comfort to Helen, though she still hesitates to engage deeply with Tom’s family dynamics.

Helen passes away, and her funeral becomes a pivotal moment. Tom attempts to speak with Jane, but she is pulled away by her companion, leaving Tom heartbroken and unsure about their future.

While crossing the street distracted and upset, Tom is hit by a car but is unharmed. Jane rushes to his side, and after realizing her feelings, Tom finally confesses his love for her, marking a turning point in their relationship.

Tom and Jane marry in a joyful celebration, with Helen watching gleefully from afar, having witnessed their journey and her wish for her son's happiness fulfilled.
