Aspiring psychiatrist Robert Cummings discovers that his little midwestern home town of Kings Row has many dark secrets to hide. His lifelong sweetheart is locked away by her father, only to end up in a murder-suicide. His carefree best friend has his legs amputated unnecessarily by a sadistic doctor. Cummings tries to keep everyone sane and together, but unfortunately it doesn't work on the viewer of this unrealistic melodrama.
