***SPOILERS*** 50 year old railroad train dispatcher Jan "Hunky" Horak, Hugo Hass, had just lost his beloved dog "Nippy" who was tragically killed in a hit & run accident outside his house. With the help of his hobo friend "The Professor", Howland Chamberlain, Jan goes into town looking to buy a puppy and runs into sexy and leggy Betty, Beverly Michaels, who's on the balls of her a** looking to get some money to pay her back rent before she's thrown, together with her room--mate Irma(Jo-Carroll Dannison), out on the street. Taking advantage of the old guys loneliness and depression over the death of his dog "Nippy" Betty gets Jan to not only give her a a roof over her head three meals a day and a place to sleep but marries her in, what seemed like a few minutes, record time.
Complications soon develop when Jan gets an assistant at the train station the good looking and Marlon Brando like, with a leather jacket & white T-shirt, Steve Kowalski, Allan Nixon, who soon hits on to Betty and begins a romantic affair with her. Jan who at first doesn't notice what's going on between Steve & Betty suddenly and unexpectedly loses his hearing that has both Steve & Betty's affair, at least the speaking part of it, get even more outrageous. That by them both telling each other how they love each other and what a jerk Jan is in front of him without him knowing what their talking about! There's also the fact that Betty knowing that her husband Jan has a fat bank account,$7,300.00, and plans to get her hands on it by causing him to have a fatal accident on the railroad track.
***SPOILERS*** What unexpectedly does later happen is that Jan , after falling and hitting his head on the street, does get his hearing back but keeps it secret from both Steve & Betty thus finding out what the two have planned for him. It's in fact Steve who chickens out in the planned "accident" Betty is setting her husband Jan up for. This after Jan reveals that he in fact can hear which leads to a wild attack by Steve on Betty who, no surprise to us watching the movie, planned to leave him with Jan's money after he got knocked off. Jan now in full control of his life & destiny kicks the scheming and unfaithful Betty out of his house with Steve now sorry that he had anything to do with her back to both normal and his job as an assistant train dispatcher. In the end Jan gets rewarded for all the trouble & suffering he went through. That's by the "The Professor" who was keen to all that was happening, that's why he's called the "The Professor", brings Jan a new and cuddly puppy to make up for all he went through with the people, Steve & Betty, he dealt with in the movie.
