Roy and John are on a return flight to Los Angeles when John meets and falls for a stewardess/flight attendant; during the flight, one of the passengers suffers from a heart attack, and the paramedics retrieve their equipment from the cargo bay (while speaking with Rampart from 30,000 feet) to help the victim. After landing, John tries to get a date with the stewardess. The firefighters assist a victim of a motorcycle accident and of a chemical fire, while at Rampart, Dixie and Dr. Early treat a young man with broken ribs, who later proves also to have epilepsy.

Roy and John become candidates to represent Station 51 on the welfare committee. The firefighters first save a man who got his arm stuck in a drainpipe, then his brother, who swallows a beverage-can pull tab and aspirates. A woman seems more concerned with making a plane flight than her son, admitted with Reye's Syndrome, where Dixie and Dr. Morton encourage Dr. Brackett to ask the parents to making that decision for their son. A sculptress calls the Squad to get her model out of a plaster cast which could otherwise suffocate the model, then the firefighters save a construction worker trapped on a crane.
