When a carpenter is unjustly accused of stealing a radio and some belongings on a beach, rather than justice prevailing as it should, a neurotic surgeon who saw the actual theft decides to testify against the carpenter and get him thrown in jail -- he just does not like the man. The worst happens, and the carpenter serves his time behind bars, yet even when he gets out of prison, the surgeon unrelentingly goes after him. Viewers who have paid bad carpenters might sympathize, but otherwise, the surgeon's behavior over a minor theft and an innocent man makes one wonder how he passed certification to cut people open.
