Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Night Call Nurses is a 1972 film directed by Jonathan Kaplan.As one might guess from the title, it's an Exploitation Film about sexy young nurses. As one might not guess from the title, it's about nurses in a psychiatric ward. Barbara, Janis, and Sandra are three beautiful nurses who both work together and (possibly) live together. Each gets their own plot line. Barbara goes to a sort of free love, liberated therapy group which eventually leads to a romantic encounter between her and the psychiatrist who runs said group. Barbara also has a deranged stalker who is writing threatening letters. Bubbly Janis winds up dating a patient, a truck driver named Kyle who's committed to the ward after having a psychotic episode after popping too many amphetamines while truck driving. Sandra, who happens to be African-American, winds up tending to Sampson, a "black power" activist who has been admitted to the ward after he tried to kill himself in prison. After finding out that Sampson didn't try to kill himself—rather the warden tried to kill him, and is determined to finish the job—Sandra agrees to help Samson escape.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Produced by Roger Corman, as the third in a series of five Exploitation Films about hot, scantily-clad nurses. Dennis Dugan, who decades later would make a career directing Adam Sandler movies, plays Barbara's insane stalker. Director Jonathan Kaplan later directed Jodie Foster to an Oscar in The Accused.

Chekhov's Gun: One of the patients on the ward is a rich guy whose face is covered with bandages after he was badly burned. Sandra gets Sampson out of the ward by wrapping his face up in bandages and disguising him as the rich guy.

Angry Black Man: Sampson, and he's right to be, since he's obviously a political prisoner and Warden Kelly even admits that he's going to arrange for Sampson to die once Sampson is taken back to jail.
