Assistant Professor Zaizen (Hiroaki Murakami) at the National Naniwa University Hospital is a surgeon full of confidence and ambition. Married to the daughter of the Naniwa Medical Association's vice chairman, he is the strongest candidate for the next professorship. However, his mentor, Professor Higashi (Hideaki Nitani), who dislikes Zaizen's arrogant attitude, attempts to recruit the next professor from outside the university. After a fierce election, Zaizen secures the professorship, but his arrogance leads to a misdiagnosis and the death of a patient. He clashes with Assistant Professor Sato (Mitsuru Hirata), who tries to uphold his conscience as a doctor, but ultimately wins the first trial against the bereaved family.
