Harry Hinkle, a cameraman for an American TV station, is sent to cover a football game. While filming the game, he gets knocked over and trampled by a player, Luther Jackson. Although Harry is not badly hurt, his lawyer brother-in-law Willy convinces him to fake a more serious injury and make a big insurance claim. Harry agrees to go along with this, hoping to fulfil his dream of being rich enough to win back his wife Sandy, who has run off with a drummer. Suspecting a scam, the insurance company sends detective Purkey to investigate, but he fails to come up with anything. Meanwhile Luther, stricken with remorse, showers Harry with kindness and soon the two become friends. Harry gets the insurance money and wins back Sandy but still he isn't happy. So he decides to own up to the scam, and ends up alone again and with no money. The only one who sticks by him is in fact his new friend.
