Pryor plays a fledgling businessman that gets busted with a briefcase full of hot diamonds. To avoid going to jail he pretends to be insane. The judge isn't convinced by his act but decides to have him evaluated out of an abundance of caution.
While at a hospital for clinical review Kevin Lanahan (Richard Pryor) gets the opportunity to break out and takes it, except he can't even leave the New York island he's on due to a hurricane. Furthermore, due to an assumption made by a new hospital administrator, he goes on to pretend to be a doctor.
By this movie Pryor was too old and frail looking to be doing some of the silly stunts he was doing: pretending to be crazy in court, pretending to be a dog, pretending to masturbate to a Rorschach test. It was lame comedy that provided no laughs.
Let's just say that this won't be one of Pryor's more memorable films.
