Jerry, der Herzpatient (1969)
Ein ahnungsloser Familienvater erfährt von seinem Arzt und besten Freund, dass er an einer unheilbaren Herzkrankheit leidet und ihm nur noch wenige Monate zu Leben bleiben. Er beschließt auf Drängen seiner Frau, an seinen letzten Tagen aus dem Vollen zu schöpfen. Er begibt sich auf einen Trip nach Portugal und verschuldet sich dabei schwer, um anschließend herauszufinden, dass er gar nicht sterben wird. Finanziell total ruiniert, beschließt er, seinen Tod vorzutäuschen, damit seine Familie von der Versicherung leben kann. Bis er feststellt, dass sein Kumpel im weißen Kittel eigentlich nur scharf auf seine Frau ist.
