Dixie injures her toe, thus lead to her making fun of Drs. Brackett and Early. John decides to do some saddle shopping in preparation for trying for the rodeo. Roy and John aid a girl injured in the explosion of a soda bottle. When Roy cites the owner of a business for an improperly installed gas heater, the owner scoffs at the fireman until they have to return when the heater explodes, injuring the owner. Other rescues include a boy lapsing into a coma after falling from a tree–later found to be suffering from the ITP blood disorder, and saving several children and a nun from a bus crash.

A paramedic trainee (who was a former medic in Vietnam) doesn't know how to follow instructions from both John and Roy. Dixie confronts their trainee about competing with real doctors and nurses, as well as the hotshot paramedics. The men also help stop a purse-snatching, aid an injured man who fell down a cliff, assist with an overdose victim, and a man who had an insulin reaction.
