Professional and private lives become intertwined with the arrival of a new superintendent at a mental hospital. He wants to institute new rules, including the removal of psychiatrist Claudette Colbert from the men's ward based solely on her gender. Her performance in several stressful situations proves him wrong. Unfortunately, the melodramatic love lives of the staff tend to take precedence over the more interesting events in the psychiatric ward.
