The director of the hospital is a surly surgeon (Telly Savalas) with a tongue like a scalpel, a man whose idea of administration is to scream insults at interns in the presence of patients.

Another, Francoise, is long and lissome, with a long mane, long shanks, and good possibilities in the sixth at Longchamps.
