The high-tech hospital St. Georg and the old-fashioned Eichwald clinic take up a comedic fight for survival after health authorities decide to close down one of the hospitals for economical reasons. Now, both hospitals have ten days time to prove to the board of authorities that their facility is better than the other. But whereas the good natured yet gawky employees of Eichwald clinic begin to develop new concepts, the mean head of St. Georg starts a sleazy campaign to sabotage the rival clinic. Thus, within a short period of time chaos breaks out at both hospitals – but rarely for the good of the patients.
