action

Resolute Margaret and Sam, who is standing under her slipper, are a long-married couple. She tells him to go shopping, and he puts his dog Rover on a leash and sets off. Busy with the shopping list, he crosses the street and is run over by a car like his dog. The ambulance arrives and Sam and Rover are given a plasma infusion - but the cross-eyed medic confuses the containers for humans and animals. As a result, Sam sometimes behaves like a dog, while Rover suddenly becomes human, for example he pays for the steak that Sam snatched from the butcher.

Margaret tries to get the chaos around the man and dog under control, but gives up when Sam bites into the milkman's legs and Rover wants to have shaved and fried ham and eggs in the bathroom . She puts her dog Fifi on a leash and moves out. Both are run over by a car on the street and treated again by the cross-eyed paramedic. Now Margaret behaves just like Sam and they both come back to each other. Rover has finally found a human-thinking four-legged friend in Fifi who even wants to prepare his beloved ham and eggs for him.
