Richard Kimble finds a temporary job along the Santa Monica Pier as a personal aide for the paralyzed Leslie, who owns and operates a gift shop along the pier with his attractive sister Norma. Leslie received a large financial settlement after the car accident that paralyzed him, and Norma and her lover, Lars are secretly plotting to kill Leslie and take the money. Kimble throws a monkey wrench into their plans, however, when he uses therapy to help Leslie regain movements, enough for Leslie to want to take the money and get out of his depressing existence along the boardwalk. Meanwhile, Norma has fallen for Kimble and is torn about what she wants for her future.
