Plot

Dr. Weitzman (Dennis Boutsikaris) is a psychologist working in a sanitarium in New Jersey. His primary patients are Billy, Henry, Jack and Albert. Billy (Keaton) is the most normal of the group and their unofficial leader, though he is a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur. He also seems to be a rage-a-holic. Henry (Lloyd) is obsessive/compulsive and he has deluded himself into thinking he is one of the doctors at the hospital, often walking around with a clipboard, lab coat and stethescope. Jack (Boyle) is a former ad executive who seems to believe he is Jesus Christ. And Albert (Furst) a man-child who only says things that he hears during baseball games. Convinced that his patients need some fresh air and some time away from the sanitarium, he persuades the administration to allow him to take them to a ballgame. Unfortunately, he accidentally stumbles across 2 crooked cops murdering another officer and he gets knocked unconscious trying to get away and is put in the hospital. The group is now stranded in New York City, forced to cope with a place which is often more bizarre than their sanitarium. It's up to them to save their doctor from being murdered by the crooked cops. So they have to both use and overcome their delusions and disorders in order to save the only man who ever tried to help them, with both the police and the killers looking for them.
