Los doctores las prefieren desnudas
Alberto, an employee of a car dealership, is commissioned by his boss to deliver a car that has been sold to a customer. Being a luxury car, he has no better idea than to invent an excuse to the new owner of the vehicle, delay delivery for the next day and use it to go out to have fun at night with his faithful friend Jorge. They both go to a revue theatre and, while witnessing the performance, the first vedette (Corina) faints. Then Alberto and Jorge pose as doctors, in order to meet Corina. As is to be expected, both decide to continue the deception with the passing of the days, causing the confusion to become bigger and bigger and harder to keep secret.
