Security at Kensington General is stepped up when a notorious gangster is admitted for surgery prior to appearing in court on a murder charge. A notorious criminal is admitted to the hospital for surgery and a nervous Charley is appointed to do the honours. There is a bit of preliminary cut and thrust between doctor and patient but it is definitely Charley who's balanced on a knife-edge, so to speak!

The staff at Kensington General are puzzled by the disappearance of supplies and equipment. Watch out! There's a thief about at the hospital. And that's not all - there's a phoney doctor at work as well!
