Believing he has killed a policeman, a troubled young man finds sanctuary on a farm, where he pretends to be the long-lost son of the farmer, who is blind. The impostor blackmails the family into silence, knowing that their real son is in jail - and that if he reveals the truth, it will kill the farmer. Exploiting this "humanitarian" motivation, the fugitive succeeds in getting the local police commander to go along with his story. He is not all talk, though: he tries to turn over a new leaf, impressing the farmer's wife and lighting a small flame of kindness in her daughter's heart. All this turns to nothing when his mates turn up and force him to take part in a bank robbery...
