On a summer night in 1930, Alan Forby was driving in pursuit of a truck. As the truck slowed down to make a turn, Forby couldn't avoid a collision and crashed into it. He suffered a ruptured artery in one of his legs, but fortunately, Alfreid Smith arrived just in time to apply a tourniquet and stop the bleeding, saving Forby's leg until the ambulance arrived. A few months later, Forby made a full recovery and returned to work.

Five years later, one evening, Forby received a radio signal to respond to a traffic accident on Highway 80. Upon arrival, he found a small car had crashed into a tree, and the driver was in critical condition. To his shock, the driver was none other than Smith, the man who had saved him years earlier. Forby rushed to apply a tourniquet, realizing that Smith was unconscious with a severed artery in his right leg, losing blood rapidly and on the brink of death. Forby gave it his all and finally managed to stabilize Smith's condition.
