Jan "Hunky" Horak (Hugo Haas) is a lonely railroad dispatcher who lives in a remote post. He is paired with much younger co-worker Steve (Allan Nixon). Local flirt Betty (Beverly Michaels) tries to con a free lunch from him, but he's not interested initially. She finds his bank balance with $7300. She performs her magic on him and marries him. She is also starting something else with Steve. Out of the blue, he loses his hearing. After getting hit by a car, his hearing returns and he is shocked by what he hears at home.
This has a really good premise. If this movie has more daring, it would keep the affair a secret and turn the sound off during the section with Jan losing his hearing. I would also keep him from talking after going deaf. Deaf people have trouble speaking normally. Jan cannot speak with his normal voice. After awhile, it becomes unlikely that anybody wouldn't notice the flirtations and the illicit couple cannot still believe in his deafness.
