When two petty criminals on the run, Kelly (Alfie Bass) and Nicholas (Ronald Fraser), need a place to lay low from the police, they pose as health spa practitioners at a secluded, eccentric health clinic run by the formidable Lady Bovington (Irene Handl).

Unbeknownst to them, the health farm is frequented by wealthy, glamorous women seeking unconventional treatments. Joined by the charismatic and free-spirited Mary (celebrated British adult film star Mary Millington), the fake doctors navigate a series of slapstick mix-ups, double entendres, and romantic escapades, creating utter chaotic farce in the English countryside.
