 At one of his many visits to his doctor, hypochondriac George Kimball mistakes a dying man s diagnosis for his own and believes he only has about two more weeks to live. Wanting to take care of his wife Judy, he doesn t tell her and tries to find her a new husband. When he finally does tell her, she quickly finds out he s not dying at all (while he doesn t) and she believes it s just a lame excuse to hide an affair, so she decides to leave him.
