Synopsis

A surgeon smuggles diamonds into the country inside lollipops which get left in a cab. A little girl eats one of the lollipops and needs surgery to have the diamond removed. The surgeon was toying with the idea of a life of crime since he had lost his faith in his medical skills, but after Torch demands he save the life of the little girl, his faith is restored in himself and he abandons all criminal intent.
