One evening, a lovely young woman stops to see what's wrong with a news boy who's stretched out on a park bench. A dapper gentleman stops as well. The boy, aged 11, is Charlie McCarthy, and the man proves to be a doctor. The woman, fortuitously, is a nurse who keeps a thermometer in the top of her stocking. Charlie's running a fever, so the pair take him to the doctor's office. After giving the lad an exam and a dose of silver nitrate, Dr. Langdon decides a tonsillectomy may be needed; Charlie dictates his last will and Nurse Morris prepares the anesthesia. While Charlie is under, the doctor and the nurse get better acquainted. Does everything come out okay?
