When a con artist named Kevin is framed for racketeering, he finds himself facing a lifetime in prison. Feigning insanity seems like the easy way to avoid the slammer, and Kevin is brought to Empire State Hospital for evaluation. But things get nuts when a power outage hits, and the crazy-like-a-fox Kevin impersonates a doctor to make his escape. As the night goes on, chaos ensues⁵and Kevin finds that he's the only one who can take charge and maintain order
