Christine Palmer leaves the Midwestern suburbs to begin life as a nurse at Metro-General Hospital. There she meets fellow night nurses Georgia Jenkins and Linda Carter. Linda is in love with a businessman named Marshall Michaels, but Michaels wants her to give up her nursing career.

Meanwhile, a power outage strikes the city and the patients at Metro General begin to panic. A conman named Rocky and a man named Ben Jenkins (Georgia's brother) hold the hospital generator hostage and nearly destroy it. After abandoning the mad plan, Ben is injured while attempting to protect the nurses and is summarily arrested.

Linda witnesses the hit-and-run of a girl that turns out to be the Police Commissioner's daughter. She takes care of the girl and has her taken to Metro General, though her father comes and insists their family doctor Bill Sutton take care of her. The charismatic Dr.Sutton takes in Christine as his personal assistant and they begin dating, though she slowly notices he's not as perfect as he seemed at first. He drinks too much, he has residents do the work for which he takes credit, and he gets Chris to help him forge prescriptions for drugs. Suspicious of Sutton, Linda and her new friend Jack investigate his home, find the drugs he'd been stealing, and spot the auto-repair bills that reveal he was the hit-and-run driver. That night, the girl dies on Sutton's operating table and he's called in for a special inquest for which he pleads to Chris to testify in his favor. Not wanting to believe the evidence against him, Christine almost goes along with him, but can't bring herself to deny what she had seen. Sutton finally confesses and is taken away, leaving Christine unsure of her place at the hospital.

Synopsis for "The Secret of Sea-Cliff Manor"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Night Nurse #4

After the events of Night Nurse #2, Christine leaves the hospital to get away from memories of betrayal and ends up at the northeastern Sea-Cliff Manor as the private nurse for the physical rehabilitation of wheelchair-bound Derek Porter. The house has a creepy atmosphere and at night Chris can see lights signaling from the long-abandoned lighthouse to a mysterious person stalking the manor grounds. After numerous near-fatal accidents that seem to point to sabotage by the butler, Chris eventually forces Derek to reveal that he is responsible -- he was faking paralysis and taking advantage of his aunt's goodwill to use the location as a connection in a drug smuggling operation. He tries to push her over the cliff to silence her, but the butler comes to the rescue by pushing the abandoned wheelchair at Derek, knocking him off the cliff to his death in Christine's stead.
