In order to save money, the management of an insane asylum moves the patients into dungeon cells that the hospital was built on. When an inspection notice from the state board arrives, the doctor panics and orders that all the patients return to their wards. Their scheme is undone when one old crazy man refuses to be bullied into silence, crying out to the inspectors that they've taken his beloved 'Linda' away from him. When they follow his headlong dash downstairs, they find that 'Linda' is a rather large dungeon rat.
