Doctor Martinus loses his patience with the spoiled villagers utter irreverence, including most patients, the bulk of whom only come for a chat and free coffee with biscuits, so he fires lazy secretary Kim, but her many friends only turn everyone on him even more viciously, even children and patients. He still spots and saves patients pretty much on his own and even reaches a bantering rapport with embittered fired music teacher Wieger Troost, who convinces him to take Kim back.
