Dr. Kildare's (Lew Ayres) fiancee, nurse Mary Lamont (Laraine Day), has a problem when her brother comes for a visit. His behavior is strange, and Kildare thinks it may be due to epilepsy. If it is, then the marriage may be in jeopardy. Kildare tries to get to the real problem, and the grumpy Dr. Gillespie (Lionel Barrymore) comes up with the diagnosis–an injury from an accident. A simple operation fixes the problem, and the wedding plans continue.

Two hospitals are feuding, which results in an intern being fired for bringing a patient to the wrong hospital. Dr. Kildare (Lew Ayres) successfully performs surgery on the beautiful patient, Edith (Ann Ayres). She then proceeds to fall in love with Kildare, but he still grieves for his fiancee, who died (in the previous episode). With several members of the cast of the earlier films missing, this was the appropriate time to end the series.
