John Trent, a self-assured young man of likely starring calibre, was until recently piloting a TWA transport. Ruth Coleman is an erstwhile commercial artist model. Helen Burgess is a Paramount stock player also new to the screen. Key situation of A Doctor's Diary is the villainy of Dr. Ludlow (Sidney Blackmer) who postpones an operation on a boy violinist to attend to a rich client. Because of the delay the fiddler loses...

Meanwhile another branch of the University hierarchy is combing the woods for the snatch artist who broke into the door before it was fixed. Microscopic work on the picture reveal that both the coat and sweater that are visible were purchased in a Southern city, probably Atlanta, Georgia, and it is claimed that the culprit is already known and can save himself several years if he will give himself up quietly...
