The story takes place in a large hospital and revolves around two nurses, Liz Thorpe (Shirl Conway), the older head nurse, and Gail Lucas, the naive student nurse. The two nurses were joined by doctors in 1964 and these doctors tried to help the nurses resolve moral and ethical problems.
A nurse attending a teen-aged boy brought to the hospital with a fractured skull, presumably after having been attacked by a street gang, learns that her patient had been the attacker and that his assailant had acted in self defense. Terry, the student nurse, is afraid to reveal her nationality. She is from Puerto Rican origins.
New England fisherman Parnell Sullivan (Bosco) suffers a heart attack while at sea and is flown to the New York hospital for attention. Although without funds Mary comes down from Boston with the couple's young children, Jimmy (Billy McNally), Maeve (Peggy Burke) and Molly (Sue Ann Crawford), planning to lodge them in hotel lobbies and bus stations. Nurse Thorpe, her sympathies aroused by the family's predicament, places the mother and her children in her own hospital-owned quarters, an act which arouses the hostility of the apartment-house superintendent, Durkin.
Norman Ruskin is recovering from a minor surgery and develops a friendly bond with Miss Lucas. One evening, she is on duty when a patient passes away, and her explanations for the delay are disregarded. Edith Ruskin is told that Gail plans to file charges against her spouse, despite objections from the hospital officials.
