As it must to all TV heroes, blindness comes to Dr. Gannon on Medical Center. He's been in a car wreck, caused by bad brakes which, we soon learn, had been tampered with. It's not a good time for him, what with that young lady who needs heart surgery only he can perform. Frank Converse is the man who is trying to kill Gannon (and his motivation, when we finally learn it, is weak) and George Chakiris is a surgeon who may have to take over and operate in Gannon's greens — if he can learn the technique.

More complications for Dr. Joe Gannon (Chad Everett), as a coed, suffering from a possible brain tumor, claims he fathered her unborn child. Of course, he's innocent, but the question is, would surgery endanger her pregnancy.

Roddy McDowall plays a lawyer and Keenan Wynn a cop in a drama that has Gannon accused of shielding an injured cop who allegedly shot a student without provocation.
