What happens

Doctor in Trouble is a 1970 British comedy film, the seventh and last film in the Doctor series. The film was directed by Ralph Thomas and stars Leslie Phillips as a doctor who gets accidentally trapped on an outgoing cruise ship while it begins a round the world trip. The cast was rounded out by a number of British comedy actors including James Robertson Justice, Harry Secombe and Angela Scoular. The film was based on the 1961 novel Doctor on Toast by Richard Gordon, and is unrelated to the 1964 novel bearing the same title written by Clare Cavendish. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
