A surgeon is tormented by a fly which follows him from his home to the operating theater where he is scheduled to operate on a foreign child. The boy's father warns the doctor should the boy die on the table he will hold him personally responsible. During the surgery, the fly hands on the man's hand causing him to make a mistake and the result is the boy dies. The doctor finally succeeds in swatting the fly, but only damages its wing.
