He is taken to a home for the disabled, but his bitterness and his dislike of rules and regulations only serve to make him angry and withdrawn. But he finds meaning in life once more when he falls in love with Jill (Nanette Newman), a polio victim. Happy, halcyon days follow for them both - but tragedy hasn't finished with their lives yet...
