The boy, aged 11, is Charlie McCarthy, and the man proves to be a doctor. The woman, fortuitously, is a nurse who keeps a thermometer in the top of her stocking. Charlie's running a fever, so the pair take him to the doctor's office.

While Charlie is under, the doctor and the nurse get better acquainted. Does everything come out okay? Written by See less
