St. John Thomas Hospital

Lady Shaver cuts the ribbon to open St. John Thomas Hospital in front of officials and bandaged patients. Inside the men's ward a glamorous nurse sends the patients into a frenzy, while a man in a white coat passes himself off as a doctor and tries to examine her, only to have his stethoscope snap back at him. The staff's methods are no gentler: one nurse studies a karate manual before chopping off a patient's leg cast, another wakes a sleeping old man with a trumpet, a reflex test leaves the 'doctor' doubled over, and a mummified trauma patient is hoisted up on his traction frame so his sheets can be changed. When a hospital executive and the hulking head nurse show Lady Shaver around, the 'doctor' spots the nurse handing out sponge baths and keeps trading places with patients to get one, bumping one man out of bed, bandaging his own head to pass as a concussion case and finally smearing himself with polish and a mop-head wig to stand in for the ward's black patient. The disguise stops at his neck, the head nurse drags him out, and he is revealed as a decorator from the paint company who flees through the women's ward, setting off a sped-up chase across the grounds in which he stops to pluck a stray hair out of the picture.

The closing chase includes a gag in which Hill stops running to pull a stray hair out of the picture, a bit fan historian William Brown traces to Tex Avery's 1952 MGM cartoon Magical Maestro. The chase also reuses footage of a runaway wheelchair from the show's 1978 Grand Wheelchair Rally sketch.
