Bert Harris (Eugene Levy) is a hypochondriac and his doctor is sick and tired of his regular visits over nothing. Bert storms out telling his doctor that his surgery does not even look like a regular doctor's office.

Later he visits weird bone expert, Dr Munigant. At least his surgery looks like a doctor's office. It even contains the bones of Antony and Cleopatra.

After his visit to Dr Munigant, Bert starts to lose weight, looking a little skeletal. His wife is worried about him.

Bert decides to consult the sinister bone doctor one more time. His wife later discovers that her husband is more skin than bones.

A little bit strange and darkly comic. Levy sells it well but the story does not come across to well on the screen. All a bit too silly.

I did like Bert's conversation with the Fat Man at the bar.
