The story

The film is based at the (fictitious) St Swithin's Hospital, where Dr Gaston Grimsdyke, an accident-prone doctor and cad, is more interested in the nurses than the patients. Having been sacked from his job as a medical officer at a men's prison for misbehaviour with the Governor's daughter, Grimsdyke is taken on by his old medical tutor Sir Lancelot Spratt, who is determined to make him a successful surgeon. Grimsdyke discovers that a plum senior medical post is shortly to become vacant, and starts scheming to be considered, even after his cousin Miles tells him that he has already been unofficially offered the job.
