A murder takes place in a rural British hospital. Inspector Cockrill is tasked to determine whodunit when the head nurse is killed after revealing that the death of a patient under anaesthesia was no accident.

After another murder attempt leaves a nurse dangerously ill he re-stages the operation in order to unmask the murderer.
