Nurse Greer — Joan Garrison

Pretty young Nurse Mary Greer suddenly found herself the center of a shocking scandel that brought a bitter attack on her professional integrity, an end to her engagement to Paul Tate and threatened Paul's chances of being the next mayor of the town of Port West.

When wealthy old Mr. Clarke left his fortune to the nursing home where Mary worked he disinherited a conniving niece and a weakling nephew who weren't about to let their uncle's riches slip through their fingers. Their charges of "undue influence" against Mary and the home brought Nurse Greer's fighting spirit to the fore.

But they also brought pressures from Paul who urged Mary to compromise her principles and avoid any further unpleasantness. After all, Paul was running for office and he valued public opinion, perhaps even more than truth.

Truth mattered to Mary, mattered more than anything. And so she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight it out--alone, if necessary.

She found a valiant ally in Bill Underwood, a newspaper man with an eye for a good story, an innate respect for truth and, as it turned out, a grade A case on Nurse Greer.
