A CBS cameraman is accidentally knocked out during a football game in Cleveland. His brother-in-law, William "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich, is the king of the ambulance-chasing lawyers and starts a suit while he's still unconscious.

A cameraman gets injured by a football player during a game and goes to the hospital, where his cunning brother-in-law (who happens to be a lawyer) convinces him to pretend that his legs have been paralyzed so they can receive a huge indemnity from the insurance company.
