Overview

A bit of madness is loose in the Flinder house. Winifred Flinder, supposedly just out of the hospital, insists she was living it up in Paris.

The nurse thinks the neighboring piano teacher is a great pediatric surgeon, and the gynecologist gratefully accepts payment for an operation he may not have performed.
