The film is based on a fictitious St Swithins Hospital, with Leslie Phillips on call in place as Dr Gaston Grimsdyke who is more interested in the nurses than the patients. Grimsdyke is sacked from his job as a medical officer at a women's prison, so he enrols in a refresher course with his old medical tutor Sir Lancelot Spratt (James Robertson Justice), he is determined to make a successful physician out of him.

There are some funny complications involving a rejuvenation serum, which is accidentally injected into Sir Lancelot causing him to run amok at a party.[1]
