After his left hand got stuck in a teapot, ] visits the hospital where he parks his car right behind an ambulance, obstructing the rear doors in the process. Inside, Bean gets impatient while waiting in the queue and cheats his way to the front by rudely throwing a little girl's doll and then starting a fight between two men ahead of him in the queue. After Bean pulls his numbered ticket from the dispenser, he races towards the last remaining chair in the waiting room, sitting down just in time to prevent a frail old man from sitting there. He sits next to a seriously-injured female patient (with head wrapped in bandages, and an arm and a leg in plaster), and taunts her by stretching his neck, waving his hands, and crossing his legs. Bean sees his ticket numbered 76 as the digital counter shows 23. Just as Bean checks the time on his watch, he inadvertently reveals his hand stuck in his teapot, prompting the woman at the reception desk and the patient sitting next to him to laugh at him. ] visits the hospital after getting his hand stuck in a teapot.

After falling asleep, he loses his ticket and has to get a new one. Annoyed by his high number ticket, he throws it in the bin but gets his other hand stuck, leading him to use his mouth to retrieve another ticket as he walks away with his hand still trapped.

Annoyed with how long he is forced to wait, Bean then swaps his ticket for a lower numbered ticket, showing 52, from the severely-injured patient, and sneakily turns the digital counter upside down so that 25 will look like 52. However, the patient thwarts Bean by grabbing on the handle of the teapot on his hand, and the digital counter is returned to its normal position after patients complain of their tickets being ignored. Some time later, Bean falls asleep in waiting and, as the digital counter reaches the real 52, wakes up and loses his ticket (back to the patient who originally had it). As a result, Bean has to get another ticket and he, once again, starts a fight between the same two men from earlier to get immediately to the reception desk. Bean gets angry and frustrated when he takes a higher number ticket and he throws it in the bin, but his other hand becomes stuck as he tries to push down the ticket into the bin to show his frustration. Unable to recover it, he uses his mouth to take out another ticket from the dispenser, and Bean walks to his seat with his hand still stuck in the bin.

Plot

Part One

Mr. Bean visits the hospital after getting his hand stuck in a teapot. He obstructs an ambulance by parking his car poorly, cheats in the queue, and rudely takes a chair from an old man. While waiting, he annoys an injured patient beside him and is laughed at when he accidentally reveals his stuck hand while checking the time. Frustrated by the long wait, Bean swaps his ticket for a lower number and tries to manipulate the digital counter, but is thwarted by another patient. After falling asleep, he loses his ticket and has to get a new one. Annoyed by his high number ticket, he throws it in the bin but gets his other hand stuck, leading him to use his mouth to retrieve another ticket as he walks away with his hand still trapped.

Part Two

Bean visits Windsor Castle and takes several photographs. Upon seeing a Queen's Guard, he decorates the guard with flowers, trims his moustache, and hangs Teddy off his bayonet. The guard attempts to remain motionless, which proves difficult, especially when Bean starts to clean the trigger of his rifle. Just as Bean sets the self timer for a photo, the guard marches away, much to Bean's frustration.

That night, Bean prepares for bed but struggles to fall asleep. He tries various methods, like scaring cats away by pretending to be a dog, sleeping in different positions, and watching a chess game. Just as he starts to doze off, a loud advertisement wakes him up. Frustrated, he begins counting sheep in a picture and later uses a calculator. The sight of the number on the calculator finally puts him to sleep.
