Catalog log
Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
Dixie hears so much about a new nurse at Rampart, known as Daisy, and the firefighters, especially Johnny, are all competing for a date with her. Later, the firefighters find an engineer literally frozen in refrigeration equipment, and an old-time sailor, who got both hands stuck in Cyanoacrylate adhesive he used on his model ship. A boy who may be suffering from Tay-Sachs disease is found comatose, and gets support from Dr. Brackett, Dixie and Johnny in the hospital, and the paramedics rescue a man trapped in a theater fire.
