Synopsis

Bill Jackson is a Philosophy professor which means people call him Dr. Jackson. Bill’s fiancé, Angela, has a wealthy, spiteful uncle who holds physicians in high esteem but thinks college professors are five-and-dime doctors. When Angela brings Bill up to the hospital to meet Uncle Henry and introduces him as Dr. Jackson, Uncle Henry thinks he is a surgeon and no one corrects him because he promises to give Angela and Bill $50,000 for the first life Bill saves. Suddenly, the physician is called out of town and Bill is summoned to help in several humorous emergencies. First, Bill extracts a chicken bone from a patient’s throat with sugar tongs. From then on, one laugh follows another in quick order until the worst of all happens—a patient develops appendicitis!! Bill, much against his will, is rushed to the operating room in scrubs.
