Plot summary
The plot of *Mr. Doctor* (*Doktor úr*) centers on the life of Puzsér, a clever and resourceful doctor whose involvement in the lives of his patients and acquaintances leads to a series of comedic and dramatic events. Puzsér is drawn into the personal affairs of Sárkány, an ambitious lawyer, and Sárkányné, his strong-willed wife, as well as Sárkány's sister, who harbors her own secrets and desires.
