- Harry Hinkle is a cameraman who is broadcasting a live game until a football player hits him. Despite the insignificant concussion, his brother in law, who is a lawyer, suggests to him to pretend a serious injury in order to get money. The cameraman is against it until he hears that his ex-wife will be coming to see him. He pretends to be injured to get her back, but also sees what the strain is doing to the football player who injured him.
