It follows the story of a man named Harold Dunlap (played by Russell) who is suffering from amnesia and has no recollection of his past. Dunlap finds himself at the mercy of a woman named Evelyn (played by Hughes), who takes advantage of his condition and manipulates him into thinking that they are married.

As Dunlap begins to regain some of his memories, he realizes that he has been set up for a murder that he did not commit. He turns to a private investigator named Ross Stewart (played by Belding) for help in unraveling the mystery and clearing his name.

As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that Evelyn is not who she appears to be and that she has a sinister agenda. With the help of Stewart and his own determination, Dunlap must fight to uncover the truth and clear his name before it's too late.
