Tom, a junior hospital doctor with loss of confidence in his skills, Jane, his newly acquired staff nurse girlfriend, Miles, a dissatisfied obsessive hospital consultant, and Fiona, his barrister wife, who has doubts about her own professional role and the motives of her clerk of chambers, come together to form a new charity devoted to medical problems linked to alcohol and plan a day of fund-raising in the hospital grounds.
Miles enlists the help of Elsie, who gave up her job in hospital catering to design competitions at holiday camps. She recruits Doreen, a portly fellow hospital domestic, and Gerry, a dubious colleague from the holiday camps. Fiona secures the services of an alcoholic, Ted, sentenced to community service, as Master of Ceremonies.
The preparatory meetings and events of the charity day are fraught with mishap for this band of characters. Despite the problems, the charity’s future seems secure and romance blossoms.
