Argan is sick and bedridden, and spends his days complaining about his pain, eagerly awaiting the remedies prescribed for him by doctors who are more interested in profiting from his malady than they are in determining its causes. Adding insult to Argan’s injury, his daughter Angelique has fallen in love with a wholly unsuitable suitor. Fortunately, though, the family’s faithful servant Toinette is on hand, and although she isn’t a doctor, she has a solution for every problem.

 Argan está enfermo y encamado, y pasa los días quejándose, pendiente de los remedios que le prescriben unos médicos más deseos de ganar dinero a expensas de la enfermedad que de cortar de raíz sus causas. Y por si ese tormento fuera poco, su hija Angélique se ha enamorado del pretendiente equivocado. Por suerte ahí está Toinette, la criada, que no es médico pero tiene remedio para todo.
