First do no harm! Cary Grant stars as a brilliant neurosurgeon forced to remove a lethal tumor from the brain of a brutal Latin American dictator in Crisis. While on vacation, Dr. Eugene Ferguson (Grant) and his wife (Paula Raymond) become the unwilling houseguests of dying dictator Raoul Farrago (Academy Award winner José Ferrer). Dr. Ferguson's choice should be clear: to do everything he can to save the man's life--even though allowing this one man to die could save the lives of thousands of innocents. But during the operation, a revolutionary leader (Gilbert Roland) kidnaps Dr. Ferguson's wife and demands that Ferguson allow Farrago to die on the operating table!
