Duncan is desperate to get together five unusual medical cases so that he can present them at an exam. However his frantic efforts to acquire them are somehow misunderstood so that he ends up, not with medical anomalies but cute soft toys, as fluffy bunnies and cuddly Teddy bears fill up his ward - a fact which is not going to endear him to Loftus.

The funds from the Entertainments Committee seem to have disappeared and so a new means of raising cash is required. What about a beauty contest to find the prettiest nurse? Dick fixes it that Nurse Reynolds will win it and then return the winnings to him for the fund but Duncan suspects that this is another of Dick's dishonest scams and talks the nurse out of it. With no 'plant' to win the money, there is only one solution - Duncan must drag up as the prettiest nurse, attracting the attention of Sir Edmund Steele from Highcross at the same time.
