A disgraced doctor is sent to a remote clinic on an inhospitable tropical island where he learns of a native slimming potion.

However his former professional rivals who had been instrumental in sending him away in the first place now want a slice of the profits, as does the real discoverer of the slimming potion.
The original script for "Carry On Again Doctor" raised problems with Rank's legal advisor, who felt it was too similar to an unfilmed 'Doctor' script that
Talbot Rothwell , writer of "Carry On Again Doctor", had previously submitted toBetty Box . Most notably, the medical mission/slimming potion idea, which had featured heavily in both scenarios. As Box did not take up the option on Rothwell's 'Doctor' script, however, it was felt there were no legal problems to the use of these ideas in this film.Filming Dates
