It took the tragedy of one of David's young patients to overdose on drugs that brought the two together when after coming on the scene they couldn't save his life.

Meanwhile Marsha has been up to her neck on her long awaited art gallery opening that she loses interest in David and that has him in return lose interest in her and that's where Annie comes in. At first just flirting with each other it, the affair, soon becomes serious with the two jumping in bed together with Marcha left out in the cold. It's later when one of David's junkie patients Fancher, Thomas F. Duffy, broke into his office, while he was talking things over with Annie, looking for his sh*t-drugs-that David really got so worked over by the crazed junkie that he ended up in the hospital with a brain concussion.

It's when Marsha learned that David's "girlfriend" happened to be her kid sister Annie that she completely flips. Not realizing that his "girlfriend" had earlier broke off her relationship with him and was to go back east to continue her collage education! Heart warming final with both Annie & Marsha coming to terms as well as their pop Mr. Tom Burroughs, Efrem Zimbalist-Mister Z-Jr, making up with Annie in not blaming her for her mom's as well as his wife's tragic death in a traffic accident! Something that Annie,if she didn't have enough problems already, held herself responsible for all these years since she was a little girl.
