Since the need for fishermen has rapidly decreased over the years, the majority of the people have been out of work. When news reaches the mayor of Tickle Head that there are talks of opening a petrochemical factory in the village, the people set out to do everything they can to make it happen; the only problem is that there is a condition in place that states they must have a resident doctor.

Plans are made to get every member of the community to try their hardest to make him stay.
