A Tunatica asylum superintendent discusses how many inmates are as sane as the outside world and could be free tomorrow. He cites cases of a devoted lover who joined her fiancé in an asylum, a sane woman who chose confinement to avoid murdering her husband, a devout clergyman who feared blasphemy, and a lawyer protecting his son. He notes abuses in admission, with doctors certifying insanity for profit. Many privileged inmates remain, while some sane patients stay to avoid public life.
