Description:  Two researchers travel back in time, trying to rescue a cure for a modern-day epidemic, but their plans go astray when their time travel brings them to Chicago not a week but a single day before the Great Chicago Fire. In 1976, there's an outbreak of a disease that no one has seen before. All what they know is that resembles a disease that existed at around 1871, and that a Dr. Henderson was able to save most of his patients but the Chicago Fire destroyed his records. Dr. Earnshaw the doctor looking for a cure was approached by a man, Jeffrey Adams, who believes that he could help him.

But a glitch in the machines computers sends them the day before the fire not four days as intended.
