Robert Wagner is a doctor tasked with trying to stop a diphtheria epidemic from getting out of control. He butts heads with police captain Greg Morris, who is more concerned about a series of robberies that has resulted in the deaths of some of his officers. The two plot lines converge when it turns out a homeless man with homicidal tendencies is also "patient zero" in the diphtheria epidemic. Potentially interesting mix of genres, disaster and police procedural, too often succumbs to TV-movie cliches, especially in the time consuming romantic subplot between Wagner and co-worker Diane Baker, but still manages to be engaging.
