Unsuspecting businessman Walter Williams (Brian Donlevy) is the target of a plot by his scheming wife Irene (Helen Walker). She and her paramour Jim Torrance (Tony Barrett) plan to dispose of her inconvenient husband by orchestrating a car "accident". Unluckily for the two lovers, it is Torrance who actually dies in the crash with Williams surviving but is thought to have perished in the accident. When Williams realizes the world believes him to be dead, he decides to change his identity and relocate in a small town where no one will recognize him. Williams has just started to enjoy his new life, as well as found a new love, when a police detective comes to town investigating the accident.
