Seducing Doctor Lewis

In the past, the people of St-Marie-La Mauderne lived from fishing, but today, it's social welfare thatkeeps them afloat. When a potential investor offers the prospect of building a factory, thus creating jobs for the entire village, the mayor glosses over the local conditions without further ado. It's just too bad that they can't find a doctor who wants to settle in the small village. When a promising candidate appears in the form of young Doctor Lewis, the villagers pull out all the stops, including a fake cricket match, to persuade him to stay.
