Having finished his residency at a Washington, D.C., hospital, Dr. Benjamin Stone drives toward Beverly Hills for an interview with the plastic surgeon Dr. Halberstrom. Avoiding a cow, he crashes into a fence in Grady, South Carolina, and Judge Evans sentences him to thirty-two hours of community service at the town clinic. Mayor Nick Nicholson and a welcoming committee hope to hire him to replace Dr. Aurelius Hogue, who plans to retire. While his car is repaired, Ben treats patients and meets Lou, a law student and single mother who drives the ambulance.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Daniel Pyne was hired to rewrite the film because Michael J. Fox had admired his script for The Hard Way. Pyne called it a dream re-write: "It was a dry, badly structured doctor comedy, and I pushed it more toward the romantic side, with a touch of Local Hero."
