The Imaginary Invalid is a three-act play by Molière. Each act is interspersed with a dance and song interlude. The prologue: Ancient figures praise Louis XIV. Act I: Argan, the hypochondriac, wants to marry his daughter Angélique to a young doctor, Thomas Diafoirus. Angélique is distraught because she is secretly in love with Cléante. The impertinent maid Toinette promises to help her. Meanwhile, Béline, Argan's second wife, tries, with the help of a notary, to seize her husband's inheritance. First musical interlude: Polichinelle, Toinette's lover, sings a serenade and is beaten. Act II: Angélique meets the Diafoirus father and son. Thomas Diafoirus is a pedantic and ridiculous young doctor. When Angélique shows her lack of enthusiasm for the marriage, Béline, her stepmother, encourages Argan to send her to a convent. Argan discovers that Cléante is visiting Angélique. He is furious. His brother Béralde suggests he take his mind off things with some entertainment. Second musical interlude: Moorish dancers, brought by Béralde, enter the stage. Act III: The maid Toinette suggests to Argan that he feign death to observe his wife's reaction. Béline falls for the trick and rejoices at Argan's supposed demise. Angélique, on the other hand, is in tears. Argan thus sees his loved ones for who they truly are. He finally agrees to the marriage between Angélique and Cléante thanks to Béralde's intervention. Third musical interlude: Béralde organizes an investiture ceremony during which Argan is made a doctor.
