"The big bucks are in pschiatry...I mean...its so much more rewarding."
Dr. Richard Thorndyke (Mel Brooks) is the new administrator of the Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous, and discovers there is something suspicious going on at the hospital. Nurse Diesel (Cloris Leachman) and Dr. Charles Montague (Harvey Korman) frame Thorndyke for murder, and he goes on the run and confront his own 'high anxiety' to try and clear his name.
Brooks takes on the might of the Hitchcock thriller and wins with a parody that includes scenes from The Birds, Psycho, and Vertigo.
