When Chet (Tim Donnelly) chides John (Randolph Mantooth) for playing his bagpipes at the station house, John gets even by assembling several other musical instruments and transfomring himself into a one-man band. On a more serious note, a hostile backwoods family refuses to allow the Ramparts staffers to treat their child, who is suffering from lead poisoning. Elsewhere, a glider pilot is injured in a crash, a man is trapped under his own rapidly collapsing house, and a woman refuses to accept the fact that her daughter has died of a drug overdose. Kathleen Kelly Wiget, who appears in other Emergency! episodes as the wife of paramedic Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe), is here cast as Betty Snyder. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
