Dangerous Remedy
After being summoned to tend to the daughter of old friends who is dying as a result of an illegal abortion performed under unsanitary conditions, Dr. Wainer becomes enraged and vows to take a stand against the forces that have allowed this dangerous industry to thrive. Before long, the irreverent and mischievous Wainer finds himself in the dark and murky world of criminals, backstreet abortionists, nervous doctors who perform abortions safely but illegally, and desperate women. Making matters worse, he uncovers a secret system of graft extending into the Melbourne police force. The elite Homicide Division, the very one charged with cracking down on abortions, is actually running the racket...
