Dr. Brackett has to tend to one of his own colleagues as Dr. Early is diagnosed with a heart condition and undergoes a bypass, after fixing Station 51's truck. Dixie becomes more concerned about Dr. Early's operation after Roy and John exchange words with her. A professional football player is hit hard by his son and suffers a broken ankle, much to his embarrassment. The firefighters rescue a boy trapped in his homemade rocket, a woman whose toe is stuck in a bathtub faucet, and a worker electrocuted when the basket in which he is working slips onto live wires. Dr. Early's operation is a success, therefore, John and Roy gave their colleague a thermos of Roy's favorite, clam chowder soup.

While the DeSoto house is being fumigated, Johnny offers to host his partner–a decision both soon regret. Johnny also calls Dixie at the hospital for a calibrator, which looks good. The paramedics rescue a woman trapped inside a burning car; but later, the ambulance transporting the woman and Roy is involved in a traffic accident caused by a drunk driver, and Johnny doubles back to assist. Dixie, Drs. Early and Morton treat Roy and Johnny with their separate bodily abrasions. A poker player suffering a heart attack refuses to be transported until Gage plays out his hand (he proves to have been bluffing), and the firefighters rescue several men injured in an explosion at an abandoned refinery.
