The funds from the Entertainments Committee seem to have disappeared and so a new means of raising cash is required. What about a beauty contest to find the prettiest nurse?

With no 'plant' to win the money, there is only one solution - Duncan must drag up as the prettiest nurse, attracting the attention of Sir Edmund Steele from Highcross at the same time.

When Sir Geoffrey gives the hospital its first radio service he should have known better than to let Dick help run it as he incorporates local advertisers - to line his own pockets. MacKenzie's drunken on-air rants and Gascoigne's tedious play about Louis Pasteur also drive the patients to watching old films on TV, but when Nurse Reynolds unwittingly chats up Duncan on air, it gives birth to a saucy soap opera with the patients clamouring for more.

Dick hopes to win a new car in a slogan-writing contest. So does Mr. Wilkes, a butcher admitted with a suspected gallstone. Sir Geoffrey and Duncan feel that an operation to remove it is warranted.

Andrew MacKenzie agrees with him - leading to a war of the wards, though ultimately it turns out that the 'gallstone' is actually a shadow on the X-ray.

Duncan is desperate to get together five unusual medical cases so that he can present them at an exam. However his frantic efforts to acquire them are somehow misunderstood so that he ends up, not with medical anomalies but cute soft toys, as fluffy bunnies and cuddly Teddy bears fill up his ward - a fact which is not going to endear him to Loftus.

Even Sir Geoffrey is not immune from the Browning treatment but he becomes very trendy.
