DOCTORS' WIVES

While playing cards with her girlfriends, all of whom suspect their doctor husbands of having affairs, Lorrie Dellman volunteers to seduce each of them to find out more.

The plan backfires when Lorrie is caught in bed with Paul McGill by her husband, brain surgeon Dr. Mort Dellman, who shoots them both.

Dr. Pete Brennan is able to save McGill's life, but Lorrie is dead. Brennan is fed up with wife Amy and her migraines. He is having an affair with Helen, a nurse.

Dr. Dave Randolph is a psychiatrist. His wife, Della, is frigid. Randolph discovers that she's had a lesbian relationship with the late Lorrie.

Maggie, an alcoholic is found face-down in her swimming pool by Dr. Joe Gray, her ex-husband.

With all of their lives in turmoil, they attend Lorrie's funeral, where Helen reveals that her young son needs a brain operation. The doctors agree that Dr. Dellman is the man best suited to do the surgery, but Dellman is in jail for having shot his wife.

The district attorney, Douglas, agrees to release the surgeon for a few hours to perform the surgery, under a police guard. He is unaware that Dellman has made a deal with Lorrie's wealthy father, Jake Porter, to help him flee to Mexico as soon as the operation is done.

After Lorrie’s death and the aftermath, the group gathers at her funeral. Helen reveals her son needs a brain operation, and Dr. Dellman, in jail for murder, is temporarily released to perform the surgery under police guard, while plotting to escape to Mexico with help from Lorrie's father.

The ending ties the group’s fractured relationships to a final moral test: can a man who destroyed his own marriage still save a child’s life? The resolution underscores the blurred boundaries between personal failings and professional duty, leaving the characters—and the audience—questioning whether redemption is possible amid so much betrayal.
