Widely respected Judge Woodman works hard, until one day he suffers a seizure. The hospital determines it's hypoglycemia, a sugar deficiency in the blood. It's also determined that a tumor is growing in the pancreas that will have to be excised. But is the tumor benign or dangerously malignant. Only the judge's loyal assistant Harvy is standing by as family.
Some padding is noticeable in the extended seizure scene and in the good-natured byplay from Harvy. Dr. Styner's (Boone) usual voice-over is very informative about the nature and treatment of the disorder. I suspect the tumor angle was added to heighten suspense since recovery from an attack is fairly routine once glucose is administered. All in all, it's a fairly tame, if informative, episode.
