1. Easy Money
Police surgeon Dr. Geoffrey Brent decides to take a personal interest in Jim Clark, a juvenile delinquent who is beginning to make repeat appearances at the police station. Aware that his home life is less than ideal, the Doctor helps get young Jimmy off the hook for stealing money from a vending machine. Later, they bump into one another in a cafe, whereupon the Doctor takes the opportunity to play guidance counselor. Just as he ""patient"" is beginning to respond to the ""treatment,"" even demonstrating his improvement by thwarting the efforts of a group of punks to swipe a violin from an old derelict, he is re-arrested for the vending machine theft.
2. Under the Influence
A man arrested for drunken driving leads Dr Brent into conflict with a fellow practitioner who believes the man guilty as charged. Brent thinks otherwise—but must prove his theory to the satisfaction of the police.

Police Surgeon Geoffrey Brent plays the role of private detective when a ""hostess"" confesses to a crime she obviously didn't commit—a confession that brings unforeseen consequences for both himself and the girl.

When Sally Hughes, an attractive woman injured in a road accident, presses her claim for damages, Dr Brent finds himself in a situation which neither he nor the police can overcome.

When two children are discovered, apparently abandoned, police surgeon Geoffrey Brent uncovers the unlovable problems which lie behind the outwardly happy faces of loving parents.

7. You Won't Feel A Thing
Desperately seeking a way to save a patient's life, Dr Brent must first overcome the small girl's fear of doctors and of hypodermic needles in particular. Without an injection, she faces certain death.

What appears to be an insurmountable problem—a charge of assault by a domineering woman and her daughter-in-law—ends up as a test of strength between Dr Brent and a defending barrister.

A body found beneath a balcony draws police surgeon Geoffrey Brent into a tough case involving two women. His evidence can prove one or the other guilty of murder.
