On the Buses

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.
