Atwill loses both his legs. While in the hospital his wife uses the power of attorney to ruin him then runs off with another man. He continues in a wheel chair pushed around by a blind man. They sell songs and eventually oganize beggars and gets them to pool their savings. He makes enough money from investments to turn the tables. The film which is boring and irritating. The dialogue and acting horrible.
