Description: Young Dr. Kildare introduces us to Jimmy Kildare, as his parents and friends prepare to welcome him back to his hometown. Having just graduated a Doctor, his father is anxious to share a medical practice with him in the family home. Not to be, as Jimmy is already so engrossed in his practicum duties that he can't relax - even calling the hospital with newly inspired treatment methods while off duty. The thing about Kildare is he is usually right, diagnosing and discovering treatments no one had thought of that indeed save patients lives. The head of the hospital, Dr. Gillespie, is a brilliant man but a crusty old coot, and although he clashes with Kildare, he also sees him as the worthy successor to his position. The central drama in Young Dr. Kildare concerns a probable overdose patient no one can reach. When she is lucid she rejects her wealthy 'society' family, feeling the secret which led her to this hospital would ruin them all. It turns out that while she was bored with her fiancé, she went to a party and was offered 'reefer'. After four cigarettes, she was out of her mind and woke up in a seedy room above the bar frequented by addicts and girls of ill repute. She thought the worst. Kildare has an ingenious way of bringing her out of darkness, and with a little detective work, uncovering exactly what happened.
