Dr. Early (Bobby Troup) becomes a patient at Rampart when, after his EKG shows an irregular heartbeat, he must undergo a bypass. In another development, a former football star (played by a typecast Dick Butkus) sustains an injury but is reluctant to tell the emergency team how it happened. Also: a woman pulls a "Laura Petrie" by getting her foot stuck in a bathtub faucet, causing no end of embarrassment for her rescuer John (Randolph Mantooth); and a boy gets stuck in his own home-built rocket. A pre-stardom Nick Nolte appears in a supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
