Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams) do their bit for Duty and Humanity as "candy stripers"--volunteer nurses--at a local hospital. Truth to tell, however, the girls' motives are not entirely altrustic: Shirley would like to meet a few handsome doctors, while Laverne wants to be near her erstwhile heartthrob Jerry (Charles Frank), who is about to undergo surgery. Appearing as a nurse is blonde actress Chanin Hale, best known for her tireless "straight-woman" duties opposite such big-time comedians as Red Skelton.
