After being fired and given 24 hours to leave the state, Dr. Silas Brenton reinvents himself in Chicago as a “prestigious” celebrity plastic surgeon. His silver tongue can’t hide dubious methods, and the board of plastic surgeons opens an investigation. The film is a delirious à‑clef about the loathsome career of Henry J. Schireson, the self‑styled “King of Quacks.”
