Terry and Connie accompany a badly wounded Pat Ryan downriver to a hospital owned by a trading company. Intrigue and squabbles accompany Pat’s recuperation, as a new boss takes over the company.

Oh, and Mr. Sandhurst is an extremely jealous husband to his young and pretty wife, who has a history with Pat.
