Plot [edit]
At the Long Hampton Infirmary, Dr Jimmy Nookey (Jim Dale) seems to attract problem, beginning with an incident in the women'south washroom, which he'd mistakenly entered, frightening the highly-strung Miss Armitage out of her senses. Nookey's carefree way isn't to everyone's liking at the infirmary, with Dr. Stoppidge (Charles Hawtrey) wanting Nookey sacked for the washroom incident. Accident-decumbent Nookey then apace falls in beloved with a motion picture star patient named Goldie Locks (Barbara Windsor). During some misadventures with the hospital'south X-ray machine Nookey triggers a massive short circuit in the hospital's electric system resulting in more than mayhem. With the hospital Matron (Hattie Jacques) and his moody boss Dr. Frederick Carver (Kenneth Williams) now watching his every motility, Dr. Nookey drinks a fruit punch spiked by jealous Dr. Stoppidge at the staff political party. The boozer Nookey ends upwards crashing through a window on a infirmary trolley, later on he had nigh got into bed with a patient. Goldie leaves Nookey, as the latter is not interested in matrimony. Meanwhile, Carver and his rich patient Ellen Moore (Joan Sims) dispatch the disgraced Nookey to Moore's medical mission in the Beatific Islands, where it rains for nine months of the year. Nookey discovers Gladstone Screwer (Sid James), the local medicine man, who has a weight-loss serum. Nookey soon returns to England and opens a new surgery with Mrs. Moore, much to the anger of Carver. While Matron joins Dr. Nookey's clinic, Carver and Stoppidge plot to effort to steal the serum. Stoppidge dresses as a female patient to effect the theft, just his luck runs out when Nookey catches him in the deed. Goldie returns to have the serum also, much to Nookey's chagrin. Gladstone quickly discovers that Nookey is making a fortune from his serum, and cuts off his supply to deliver the serum in person and get in on the activity. Nookey prevaricates, so Gladstone gives him a serum, which in fact seems to cause sex changes! The movie ends with Nookey and Goldie getting married and the residue of the staff of the Long Hampton Hospital becoming friends again.
Production notes [edit]
The original script for Conduct On Again Physician raised problems with Rank's legal adviser, who felt information technology was likewise similar to an unfilmed 'Doctor' script that Talbot Rothwell, author of Bear On Once more Doctor, had previously submitted to producer Betty Box. Virtually notably, both scenarios featured the medical mission/slimming potion idea. As Box had not taken up the option on Rothwell'southward 'Doctor' script, still, it was felt at that place were no legal problems with the apply of those ideas in this film.
