Upton and Waring have been chosen to observe Loftus on a two week residency in surgery but Upton is terrified and has a nightmare about an operation. When his friends reveal his phobia to the professor, a plan is hatched whereby Upton is made to assist Loftus in a crisis to perform an emergency operation on Waring. After Loftus has told him that as a young student he also had a morbid fear of operations, Upton sees that it was all a trick for his benefit but it has cured his phobia.
