- When the bus company finds itself short-staffed, Inspector Blake comes up with the brilliant idea of employing female drivers. The company is delighted, but the bus crews are horrified and try to get rid of the women.
- Stan gets a little annoyed when his mum and sister keep buying expensive items on hire-purchase, but the money he earns for overtime working as a bus driver means that he can afford it... just. His job is secure, as bus drivers are hard to come by, and his overtime prospects are good, until the bus company decide to revoke a long-standing rule and employ female bus drivers. Aghast at the thought of no overtime and, therefore, fewer wages, he joins forces with his long-time work colleague Jack to sabotage the new female employees.—Rhino <rhino@blueyonder.co.uk>
- This is the first in the trilogy of movies based on the British sitcom from the '60's and '70's. In this one Stan, needing the overtime pay because of the number of hire purchase-items at his home tries, with the help of Jack, to oust the new female drivers who have been brought in because of staffing problems.
- Stan Butler is a public transit bus driver with the Town and District Bus Co. in suburban London. He is paired with his best friend Jack Harper as his conductor, they partners in crime in the pursuit of the opposite sex which is usually foremost on their minds. They also treat their bus like their own personal service, which is much to the exasperation of their bumbling inspector, Mr. Blake, more commonly referred to as Blakey. Stan still lives at "home" with his Mum, his plain Jane sister Olive who has no discernible skill at anything whatsoever, and Olive's lazy and stingy husband Arthur. With all Stan's overtime due to a labor shortage at the company, the Butlers have been on a spending spree of late for major items for the household. That spending spree comes to an abrupt end when Blakey implements a new directive to fill those job vacancies which kiboshes Stan's overtime: hire female drivers, driving which has up to this point been the sole domain of the male gender. What is worse for Stan and Jack is that most of the new female hires proverbially possess excess testosterone. Olive ends up playing an important role in especially Stan's need to maintain that overtime. So Stan and Jack embark on a mission to put the new female hires in a bad light so that they will ultimately be let go.—Huggo
