Summary
The ambitious Dr. Knock arrives in the country village Saint-Maurice to succeed Dr. Parpalaid, an honest man whose patients are rare. The health of the villagers is excellent. Realizing that he was duped by his predecessor, Dr. Knock sets about convincing everyone that a healthy person is someone who doesn't know how sick he is. As a result, the whole village takes to bed, the hotel is transformed into a clinic, and even Dr. Parpalaid, who temporarily returns to his village, is so worried about his health following the "diagnosis" of Dr. Knock that he also ends up in bed.
