John and Roy find a surprise–a Bengal tiger–when assisting a man down in a grocery store; Animal Control is called in on a 905-Wild (Wild Animal Loose-Threatening) and the officers help get the tiger out. The officers later check an animal preserve and find several animals dead and missing. A family pet goat having heart problems is brought into Rampart, over Dr. Brackett's objections. Later, a big brush fire threatens a suburban canyon area with numerous domesticated animals, and things get dicey all around for the fire department and the Animal Control personnel.

I could never understand why in this episode they chose to show Nurse Dixie McCall (Julie London) on a break in the hospital smoking a cigarette. I believe Julie London appeare in every episode of Emergency, yet this was the only time she is shown smoking. In real life she was a very heavy smoker, allegedly smoking up to 3 packs a day. It was this smoking habit which led to her lung cancer death. Does anybody else have a theory as to why London was smoking in this episode and no others?
