Synopsis
In order to obtain the constant medical attention he craves, the hypochondriac Argan is determined to marry his daughter Angélique to Thomas Diafoirus, a pedantic medical student. But Angélique, encouraged by her uncle Béralde and her wiley servant Toinette, is in love with Cléante.
Cléante disguises himself as a music teacher to gain access to Angélique, but Argan's second wife Béline, interested only in her husband's considerable fortune, threatens to expose the young lovers' plan. Disaster must surely follow, until Toinette decides to take matters into her own hands.
