Two idiots fake being doctors to hit on a showgirl. What could go wrong? Everything.
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.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is peak 'cine de Olmedo y Porcel'—Argentina's answer to Hope and Crosby, but hornier and more working-class desperate. Their 30+ film partnership defined 1970s popular comedy.
Mariquita Gallegos was a genuine revue vedette—she's essentially playing herself, which adds a weird authenticity to the guys fawning over her 'authenticity.'
