When spoiled rich man Bob Merrick foolishly wrecks his speedboat, he is resuscitated by a team of rescuers who are then subsequently unable to save the life of a local hero, Dr. Wayne Phillips. Merrick becomes obsessed with Phillips? life, which was dedicated to helping people selflessly and in secret, and falls in love with the late doctor?s wife. His ham-handed attempts to fill in for the man whose life he feels responsible for, result in more tragedy, and so Merrick realizes he must take drastic action to make amends.
