Laura Daniels develops a serious heart problem as the result of rheumatic fever. Although she accepts Dr. Welby's order to give up her TV interview show, she is convinced that her husband Paul loves her only as a successful career woman. She returns to work, getting pills from her assistant, Jan, and these, combined with liquor, cause her to collapse, making heart surgery mandatory.
