Light romance of the hospital genre, better than some, but not outstanding. Steve Lovett, surgery resident at the Springville Hospital, is engaged to wealthy and spoiled Leslie Townsend who wants him to take a job at her uncle's clinic. Steve becomes interested' in a new nurse, Julie Greenwood, arousing Leslie's jealousy which reaches a breaking point when he leaves a party for an emergency operation, and he is freed to concentrate on Julie, whom he realizes he loves. Little hospital dramas, a side issue of a forest fire, for a more than twice told tale, competently enough handled. Rentals.
