Roy complains of a "tickle" in his throat, which John suspects is tonsillitis. A famous actor, and former flame of Dixie's, is admitted to Rampart with chest pain (later suspected to be related to excessive MSG consumption), while his producer clamors for him to be released to finish filming his TV show. Dr. Early deals with a hypochondriac. Boot the Dog has surgery to remove a tick. The firemen assist two kids stuck on top of a natural gas tank, several girls injured in a rough lacrosse game, and a fire at Olive View Hospital (damaged in the 1971 San Fernando earthquake) set by an arsonist that trapped four people & results in Chet being injured and taken to the hospital. Chet ends up being roomed with Roy, who has his tonsils removed.
