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 - bus drivers being 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, lower take-home pay - 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 a trilogy of movies based on the British sitcom from the 1960s and 1970s. 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 are 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, 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. The Butlers have of late been on a spending spree for major items for the household, funded by Stan's overtime pay, which he receives due to a labor shortage at the company. That spree comes to an abrupt end when Blakey implements a new directive to fill those job vacancies, which kiboshes Stan's overtime: hiring female drivers - driving having been, up to this point, the privilege of men. 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
