John comments on how weird things were going to happen on his shift, and he is proven right as they have to rescue a parachutist stuck in a tree. Also on that weird Wednesday, an obese man collapses while jogging; after an 80-year-old woman sprains her ankle while dancing at her birthday party, the guests go to the hospital to resume the fun; a man cannot stop hiccuping; a boy tries to freeze himself to preserve his body; a female golfer is bitten by a rattlesnake; a prostitute brings her john in after he suffers a heart attack; and finally, Gage and DeSoto rescue a drunk driver, during which Gage is injured. A seaman in pain shows up at Rampart, but speaks no English.

Johnny watches an episode of Adam-12, however, the call has been interrupted when he and Roy must head to the guard at a building, where a jewel thief has become stuck in the ductwork. Johnny also didn't have a choice other than to explain to Dixie about missing an episode of that show. Two men involved in a fight, Drs. Brackett and Early stopped them, Dixie protects Dr. Brackett, who treats a surfer by ruining his cast, before he takes care of a woman with a neurological disorder. Dixie is tired of all the nonsense happening in the hospital or taking advantage of anybody's emergencies, someplace else. Radioactivity impedes the rescue of a lab worker.
