Quincy’s rattletrap car has failed and he is nowhere about. Fortunately, his boss’ boss Dr. Hiro steps in to help, for there is chaos at the coroner’s office: As the autopsy of Harriet Crawford begins Dr. Hiro realizes she’s still alive and races back to the hospital to keep her alive. Lieutenant Monahan delivers a casket and a corpse that he hopes will help him arrest smugglers bringing in a fortune in uncut diamonds – if he can discover how the smugglers hid the stones. And when Dr. Hiro returns Harriet Crawford to the hospital he meets the family of a young child admitted with symptoms that defy diagnosis. While all this is going on, Sam and Danny sneak about as they put together Dr. Hiro’s birthday party.

| (Danny dislikes riding in the coroner’s official car.)
Danny: Why do we have to use this car?
Sam: Do you know a better way of smuggling something into the morgue?
Danny: I never had that problem before...
| (Danny so dislikes Quincy’s job that he avoids entering the building.)
Sam: I’ll get a gurney. You wait here.
Danny: Don’t worry! I wasn’t going in there!
| Sam: Oh, but Danny! The man’s a genius! A walking computer! He’s solved more foolproof homicides than any man in the world!
Danny: This ain’t homicide.
Sam: Oh, yes it is. He’ll kill me when he finds out what we’re doing.
| Dr. Hiro: We have received a gentleman from Italy this morning. A Mr. Walker. Our friends in the police department are most anxious to discover what else Mr. Walker has brought into this country with him. I will need an assistant – a very good assistant.
| Assistant: Something wrong with my procedure?
Dr. Hiro: Nothing wrong with the procedure. Something wrong with the girl.
Asten: What is it?
Dr. Hiro: Not dead!
| Dr. Hiro: General Hospital in two minutes or this girl dies! Can you do it?
Driver: Right on!
| Dr. Hiro: Apologies, Lieutenant. Life takes precedence over death.
| Rental Car Agent: Excuse me, sir? I’m looking for Doctor Quincy. I brought him a loaner – I’m supposed to pick up his car.
Monahan: He’s not here yet.
(Sally Frier, resting on a nearby gurney, awakens and sits up.)
Rental Car Agent: Hey... wh... wh... wh... here are the keys!
(Monahan notices Sally and realizes the visitor has reached a wrong conclusion.)
Monahan: (laughing) Hey, I told you, he’s not here yet!
Rental Car Agent: That’s alright, I’ll take a cab back – no problem!!
| Dr. Hiro: Performed autopsy without laying hands on body.
Monahan: Without laying hands on body? How the hell are you gonna find out where the stuff is stashed?!?
| Driver: Do we go around to the delivery entrance?
Dr. Hiro: Coroner’s wagon mostly make pickups. Very few deliveries.
| Dr. Hiro: An opportunity to observe the usual sometimes points to the unusual.
| Harriet: Why did you wake me up? What gave you the right?
Dr. Hiro: I am trained to save lives. Sometimes, people are glad.

| Early in the episode the villains state that they await a shipment of uncut diamonds. Yet the later X-Ray that finally locates the stones shows regular circular shadows of roughly equal size – the finding one would expect from cut stones.
| Two men remove a fiberglass casket from the laboratory. A fiberglass casket by itself weighs hundreds of pounds, with the body inside, perhaps a hundred and fifty more. Two men could not handle such an object without a cart or carriage.

| The character of Quincy drew inspiration from “coroner to the celebrities” Thomas Noguchi, and Noguchi sent a pair of his deputies to act as technical consultants. Noguchi probably more directly inspired the character of Dr. Hiro. Clue suggesting this include the similarity of race (both are Japanese) and certain philosophical similarities, either directly from Dr. Hiro or from other characters inspired by the doctor, for example, the idea that the coroner’s office works for the living more than for the dead.
