content
After working as a country doctor for a year, Herbert Sperling had to leave his job in a hurry, he was found - innocent - in a supposedly compromising situation. Rescue in the last emergency is to be hired as a ship's doctor .
On the ship, he quickly realizes that he is actually superfluous. For their little ailments, the crew prefers to go to their assistant, who has a “miracle cure”. During his first vacation in the country, Herbert Sperling is locked up because he and a comrade have eaten dearly and no one could foot the bill. The drunken ship's carpenter, who in his delirium tends to see a pack of giant bloodhounds, and Sperling's steward, who was unlucky that the husband of his beloved came home unexpectedly , arrive at the prison one after the other . It is also the steward who uses a game of chance that he plays with the prison guard to trigger himself and all the other inmates.
In the port - much to the displeasure of the captain - two passengers are taken on board. On the one hand Muriel Mallet, the daughter of the ship owner, who makes the captain pretty eyes and the young, pretty dancer Helene Colbert. A romance begins between her and Sperling.
Reviews
“The young doctor from 'Aber, Herr Doktor', now a doctor with two years of practice, gets into all sorts of entanglements as a ship's doctor. While in the doctor's film no. 1 smirky milieu and type comics prevailed, now coarse situation comedy reigns . ""
“In its upright unpretentiousness and its individual good scenes, a typical descendant of 'But, Herr Doktor!' From the age of 16 probably possible, if not necessary. "
Remarks
The second part of the doctoral series is based again on a novel by the author Richard Gordon . For the only time in this series, James Robertson Justice has appeared not as Sir Lancelot Spratt, but as Captain Hogg. The name resemblance to Captain Hook is certainly intentional. With Brigitte Bardot there is even an international star in the film. The reviews of the film were mixed, especially the "rough situation comedy" compared to the first part was judged negatively.
