...bumbling Yard Inspector, Sim is called in to investigate two hospital deaths. Up to the point where Sim first places his grimy handkerchief on the scalpel, all the actors have been scurrying around in deadly seriousness. After this, their poker faces are only foils for Sim's bluffing and frothing.
