A comic novel about a heart donor delivery that goes disastrously awry, when the driver of the delivery van spots his girlfriend, a brilliant university student in the arms of another.  Unable to resist he follows her in the van through a succession of comic episodes and hurdles until he loses the heart completely and finds the mission, his love relationship and his sanity totally in jeopardy.  A grudging cardiologist who accompanies him is the enraged, consummate professional who needles and prods him throughout for his foolishness.  All ends well, saved at the last by the intervention of, ironically, the driver's brilliant girlfriend.
