Plot
Sid Carter is the cunning head of a criminal gang that includes the longhaired drip Ernie Bragg, the cheeky Freddy, and Sid's honest son, Cyril. Cyril does not want a life of crime, but is emotionally blackmailed by his father into going along with his scheme to rob Finisham Maternity Hospital of its stock of contraceptive pills and sell them abroad. Cyril reluctantly disguises himself as a new female nurse in order to case the hospital. Assumed to be one of the new student nurses who have just arrived, he is assigned to share a room with the shapely blonde nurse Susan Ball. Unfortunately for Cyril, he also catches the eye of the hospital lothario, Dr Prodd.
