Synopsis:
Ben Handley, a friend of freight dispatcher Harry Butler, is appointed spare

giving him a lift in their truck, they discover, during a breakdown that
he knows nothing about motor mechanics. He is also drinking heavily. Midway

passenger takes charge of the situation, and begins to save the life of
a dying man.
