He'll Never Have To Divorce Me - He Can Always Change Me...Whicker revisits one of Los Angeles' more unusual marriages - plastic surgeon Kurt Wagner & his wife Kathy ("I’d Like to Think I’m Nearer to God than Frankenstein", October 1973). He finds that Kathy, now 38, has had two more improving operations since they last met - a full facelift and an acid treatment. Whicker gives viewers that sense of privileged eavesdropping as he peels away the attitudes of this unusual couple and reveals some startling truths about the surgeon whose patients call him Mr God.
