Ruthless property developer, Dickie Beaumont, threatens to close down a hospital unless his son-in-law, currently in intensive care following an accident at his wedding, pulls through.
The only man who can save the hospital is the brilliant brain surgeon Dr Jim Nightingale, but fate complicates matters when a number of difficulties combine to make the doctor's work nigh-on impossible: power cuts, the homicidal tendencies of a past lover, a mad axeman on the loose, and his own illness, "Saddam Hussein Syndrome".
