Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Charged with hit-and-run driving when a crossing guard insists that he was injured by their vehicle, Roy (Kevin Tighe) and John (Randolph Mantooth) must nervously await an investigation even while going about their emergency rounds. Crises facing the paramedics on this occasion include a child trapped in a burning building, toxic smoke from an insecticide fire, an a blazing recreational vehicle. Originally scheduled to air in December of 1975, this episode was moved up to November 15 as a last-minute replacement for NBC's cancelled rebroadcast of the controversial TV movie Sarah T: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic.
