In Boston, an 18 year old boy recovers the use of his left leg, after it was severed in an auto accident. Six doctors rejoined the leg in a five hour operation. They said Jan Dangora s youth, strength and basic health gave him a big edge toward recovering the use of his limb. Exterior of Boston City Hospital. Jan Dangora lies in a hospital bed being consulted by his attending physician. His left foot is sticking out from beneath the blanket. Dangora sits in a wheelchair holding a crutch. His left leg is propped up and he is wiggling his toes. Jan walks with the aid of crutches. His mother gives him a hug. A happy ending to a tragic accident.
