An einem Freitagabend (1987)
Shirley und ihr Mann Bernie (Jerry Lewis) bangen um ihre Adoptivtochter: Felice leidet an einer tödlichen Epilepsieform, die bereits ihr Hirn in Mitleidenschaft gezogen hat. Die einzige Rettungsmöglichkeit scheint ein ausländisches Medikament zu sein. Doch Dr. Sherard (Morgan Freeman), der Felice betreut, verweigert die Behandlung mit dem noch nicht zugelassenen Präparat. Aber Bernie gibt so schnell nicht auf… Die Geschichte basiert auf einem wahren Fall. Lewis engagiert sich privat für Muskelschwundpatienten.
