An ambulance screeches to a halt in front of the emergency room entrance. A body is rushed from the ambulance to the operating room. The boy’s father has not survived the car crash, but there may still be a chance of saving the young man. The surgeon sees the body on the operating table and exclaims, ‘I can’t operate! This is my son!’
