When Harry Worth arrives from the "Friendship League" to cheer up the hospital patients, things take a turn for the medically absurd. Assigned to the cantankerous Mr. Varley, who’s more worried about his pyjamas than his pulse. Harry unleashes a barrage of misplaced optimism, wildly inappropriate questions, and children’s get-well cards that only add to the confusion.

When Harry parks illegally during his stint as a school crossing guard, a chain of comic confusion kicks into gear. Mistaking a parking summons for a job interview, Harry strolls into the police station convinced he’s about to join the Mobile Police—sirens, radio calls, and all. Instead, he baffles the constabulary with an expired license, misreads a criminal endorsement as a dessert recipe, and reports his own towed car as “stolen by officers in disguise.”
