The boy, aged 11, is Charlie McCarthy, and the man proves to be a doctor. The woman, fortuitously, is a nurse who keeps a thermometer in the top of her stocking. Charlie's running a fever, so the pair take him to the doctor's office. After giving the lad an exam and a dose of silver nitrate, Dr. Langdon decides a tonsillectomy may be needed; Charlie dictates his last will and Nurse Morris prepares the anesthesia. While Charlie is under, the doctor and the nurse get better acquainted. Does everything come out okay? Written by See less
