- When an old man wearing a strange-looking belt is found dead of natural causes, fraud is suspected and the case is turned over to major frauds division. Investigation leads to a Dr. Gantman, whose useless treatment of a blind seven-year-old girl with a pituitary tumor is preventing its timely surgical removal. A break comes when a television repairman, who makes "electro-charged oscillator belts" for the doctor, is arrested for bookmaking and is willing to testify against him. The bookie isn't needed after a courtroom demonstration by the doctor, and participation by the prosecution, results in the doctor's undoing.—bobbymaxwell
- Malloy and Reed turn over the case of the death of Clark Watkins from a diabetic shock over to the District Attorney's Fraud Division, led by Abe Strayhorn. The reason why this death is deemed suspicious is that the man was wearing an unusual looking belt at the time of his death, the nature of that belt they are uncertain. Abe assigns the case to two of his detectives, Gino Bardi and Lynn Carmichael, whose plan of attack is to see if Watkins' physician, Dr. Elroy Gantman, had anything to do with either the belt and/or the death. After speaking to Watkins' friend and neighbor, Ed Mooney, Bardi does believe Gantman is a quack doctor who is responsible for Watkins' death. Carmichael and Bardi decide to go undercover as a patient and her husband to see Gantman's practice first hand without suspicion. There, they are certain he is either a quack or a con man, who promises non-invasive and expensive treatments, such as that belt, to cure sometimes real and sometimes fake health issues. Beyond gathering enough evidence to convict Gantman, they are more concerned about another of his patients, a young girl named Maggie Fenton, who they learn has a brain tumor which has caused her to go blind. A reputable eye institute knows the only possible cure is brain surgery to remove the tumor. Dr. Gantman has provided false hope to Maggie's mother, who has refused to let the eye institute operate, which if does not happen will certainly led to Maggie's death.—Huggo
