"Dr. Tam McDuff and Nurse Susan Merton are planning to get married. But Susan's bad choices cause problems between them and Tam breaks it off. Then, they both end up in a small town in the Midwest and find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy [involving an epidemic at a nearby army camp and airplane factory]. Can they stop it, before it's too late? It will mean Tam trusting her. Can he do it? Perhaps this emergency is just the means to help Susan prove that she can do the right thing and win Tam back. But that won't happen unless she can prove that she can think of someone else other then herself first."
