Every resident collects welfare. To lure a company into building a plastic container factory nearby, they need to double their population of 120, have a resident doctor, and give a $50,000 bribe for the company owner. Montreal plastic surgeon Dr Christopher Lewis (David Boutin) gets pulled over for speeding by an officer originally from Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne. The officer will not arrest him for drug possession, if Dr Lewis will visit Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne for one month. In a deleted scene, Dr Lewis sells cocaine to his patients. Mayor Germain Lesage (Raymond Bouchard) hatches a plan. The entire village will convince Dr Lewis to stay. They tap his phone, and pretend to share his likes: fishing, cricket, fusion jazz, all the same foods. A local banker leaves small amounts of money for Dr Lewis to find, and attempts to secure a loan for the bribe. Dr Lewis likes the beautiful post office worker Ève Beauchemin (Lucie Laurier), but Ève knows he has a girlfriend, Brigitte, in Montreal. The ruse works, but they cannot secure a loan. Local banker Henri Giroux (Benoit Brière) fronts the money from his personal savings, after a bank executive calls him an ATM. When the company owner arrives, everyone continues their elaborate trick, and convinces him to build the a factory there. The owner is ready to sign, but insists that they must have a doctor. When Dr Lewis learns that his Montreal girlfriend Brigitte has been having an affair with his best friend for three years, he proclaims that he will stay because everyone in the village is genuine. Germain feels bad for lying, confesses all, and explains that a doctor in residence would save the village. Dr Lewis decides to stay, the factory is built, Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne is saved, and everyone gains renewed pride. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seducing Doctor Lewis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
