"Comedy is about reality. The more terrible the reality, the bigger the laugh." - Mel Brooks, On The Subject Of Comedy

Synopsis

Combining off-beat humour and nefarious suspense! Dr. Robert Thorndyke (Mel Brooks) is the newly appointed director of psycho-neurotic institute for the very, very nervous.

As he becomes aware of evil and sinister forces at work in the institution, he also becomes aware that he suffers from acrophobia making him almost as nervous as the patients he treats. Each new and hilarious, high-rise experience leads to his eventual conquest over his fear of heights and the apprehension of the culprits behind the plot to destroy him and the asylum. Fast-paced comedy that is throughly entertaining.
