The film, presented as a biased documentary commissioned by The Human Psyche newspaper, follows psychiatrist Dr. Phil Knickerbocker on his quest to cure Ernest. The cure proposed by Knickerbocker involves threatening the patient with the death of one of their loved ones. Corroborating that Ernest is in desperate need of correction, Ernest's sister, Marillyn, lures Ernest into a confrontation between him, her, and Dr. Knickerbocker, where Knickerbocker could probe his cure on a man who really never needed it.
