Dan Aykroyd is running the asylum - and ruling the airwaves - as a mental patient turned talk-radio shrink in this comedy of loony proportions co-starring Charles Grodin, Donna Dixon, Walter Matthau and Chevy Chase.

When asylum inmate John Burns intercepts a call to his psychiatrist, he brashly impersonates the good doctor. And he does such a good job that he's given an offer to fill in for a stressed-out Beverly Hills celebrity psychologist as the host of a call-in radio advice show. Escaping the hospital, Burns is soon gleefully crossing swords with his predecessor`s beautiful colleague, crossing paths with a crafty crackpot and crossing the line into complete hilarity as his offbeat psychobabble takes ultra-trendy La-La Land by storm!
