The staff and friends of Major General Hospital have gathered for a gala fund raising dinner.  The main attraction is Lance Carbuncle, because of his recent Nobel Prize for Medicine, which should generate a lot of corporate interest and plenty of donations.  One of the staff has other fund raising hopes tonight – the chief pathologist, Dr. Cedric Gillott.  He has his eye on blackmail money from several people at the party – Yevanna Chekmikoff, Richard Withers, and Lance Carbuncle.  He's pushing too hard.  Someone might crack.  Someone might decide that tonight they must, first, do much harm!
