A resourceful detective intervenes to stop a clandestine medical operation that threatens a young woman named Alma, arranging her emergency care and later funding her recuperation in the Adirondacks. His inquiry exposes a circle of conspirators — Grantley, Siebold, and Hoff — and a group of young physicians who flee after a violent incident involving Patsy.
