Sir Bernard Cutting Kenneth Williams, the hypochondriac registrar of the hospital, is convinced hes undergoing a sex change, however when he consults the nutty Dr F.A. Goode Charles Hawtrey, Goode dishes out psychiatric mumbo jumbo, stating that Cutting merely wants to prove his manhood, and Cutting realizes he is in love with Matron Hattie Jacques. Matron, on the other hand, has more than enough to contend with on the wards, with the gluttonous Mrs Tidey Joan Sims who seems more interested in eating than producing a baby and her longsuffering British Rail worker husband Kenneth Connor who continually hangs around the waiting room. When Cyril goes back to Prodds room to get a map of the hospital, Prodd attempts to get intimate, only to be knocked across the room. Prodd and Cyril are called out on an emergency when lovely film star Jane Darling Valerie Leon goes into labour, but as Cyril knocks Prodd out in the ambulance, he is forced to deal with the actresss triplets being born. Jane Darling is delighted with Cyril though, and hails the nurse a heroine for her efforts, bringing fame to the hospital. However, Susan uncovers Cyrils disguise, but as she is in love with him, she does not reveal the truth.The Sister Jacki Piper desperately tries to keep the ward in order, while Cuttings secretary, Miss Banks Patsy Rowlands keeps her employer in check, but nothing can cool his pentup desire to prove himself as a man, and its Matron whos in his sights. The criminal gang don disguises Sid dresses as the foreign Dr Zhivago and Ernie as a heavily expectant mum but the crime is thwarted by the motherstobe. The medical hierarchys threat to call the police is halted when Sid reveals the heroine of the day is a man, and the hospital realize they would suffer nationwide humiliation if anyone found out. Cyril weds his shapely nurse, Susan and Matron finally gets her doctor. ........
