The play revolves around Argan, the eponymous "imaginary patient". He is a widower and married in second marriage Béline, who simulates attentive care, but in reality only awaits the death of her husband to inherit. He had himself bled and purged and absorbed all sorts of remedies, prescribed by pedantic doctors, more concerned with pleasing their patient than helping to improve his health. To fool them, Toinette, her servant, disguises herself as a doctor and gives her many ironic and mocking advice for the profession. Angélique, her daughter, loves Cléante, which upsets Argan, who would prefer to see her marry Thomas Diafoirus, himself a doctor. To get them out of trouble, Toinette recommends Argan to play dead. His wife, called by Toinette, manifests, in front of the man she believes to be dead, her joy at being rid of him. Angélique, then called by Toinette, expresses sincere grief at the death of her father, who immediately stops his game and accepts the union with Cléante, on the condition that the latter becomes a doctor. Béralde, brother of Argan, advises the latter to become a doctor in his turn, leading to a burlesque end to the play, namely the farcical ceremony of the enthronement of the "imaginary patient" as a doctor.
