No pills can help is a silhouette film by the DEFA studio for cartoons by Bruno J. Böttge from 1961 .
action
A Pasha sits in his office and works incessantly. During periods of weakness, he helps himself with coffee, schnapps, pills and smoking, but he rejects the sporting activity offered as it only means wasting time. This goes on until his health collapses. The doctor who rushed up immediately removed all luxury items from the palace and prescribes the Pasha a recipe for exercise in the country, also because of his overweight. The doctor delivers the pasha to a peasant, but the pasha wants to be brought back to his palace immediately. Due to his body he moves very clumsily, so that a billy goat succeeds in paving his way to freedom. The farmer is very angry about this and demands that the animal be brought back to him and until then keeps the turban as a deposit.
With a lot of moaning and puffing, the Pasha begins the chase. The billy goat is nimble and agile and in order to keep up with him, the pasha has to use almost all sports that are there. This leads to the fact that it weighs less and less and thus becomes faster and one day can really catch the buck in order to bring it back to the farmer. Now he goes back to his palace, where he thanks the doctor, because he now feels much better without a stomach and which is why he wants to do a lot of sport in the future.
