Our where the action is police commissioner of San Francisco decides to personally supervise a drug raid where a very big dealer is supposed to make an appearance. No drugs, no mr. big dealer, and Rock Hudson takes a bullet for John Schuck. All they have is a cryptic message from their inside man.
Who turns out to be a patient at the same hospital that Hudson is taken to for his surgery to remove the bullet. While under anesthesia awaiting the operation Hudson sees a murder committed. Of course the staff says that's just not possible. But Rock has the scent.
So some hospital employees are both running a drug ring and have a murder on hospital premises. Among the doctors are Macdonald Carey, Michael Constantine, Michael Tolan, and Dick Sargent. There's also one nasty orderly around who is doing a lot of the dirty work.
Susan Saint James actually helps big time in this one. A chronic patient played by Liam Dunn won't give information that Hudson needs. But when Susan questions him he's just a fount of knowledge. Her interrogation technique is the best scene in the episode.
Worth seeing for that alone.
