The emergency staff of Rampart Hospital struggles to stem an outbreak of botulism which they have traced to a Hollywood movie set. At the same time, the firemen race against time to rescue a boy trapped in a condemned building about to collapse. With all this going on, paramedic John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) still manages to squeeze in a revenge plan against a persistent practical joker. And in other developments, head nurse Dixie (Julie London) clashes with Dr. Brackett (Robert Fuller) over his treatment of one of her student nurses; and Dr. Early (Bobby Troup) suffers a bizarre "stethoscope malfunction." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
