Mark Jonah Winters is a migrant worker who hitches a ride with Jerry Taggart. A car crash kills Taggart, and when the police arrive on the scene they discover the car had been stolen. Believing he cannot prove his innocence, he flees before he can be arrested.

That night, he sleeps in a field and wakes to find four blind children staying at a nearby blind camp. He meets camp housekeeper Nonna and camp director Tracy, who mistake him for the handyman they were expecting. Jonah begins working at the camp, and earns the trust of the children, whom he can relate to because he had been orphaned as a child. Nonna sees a photo of Jonah in the newspaper and, though she knows he is wanted by the police, does not turn him in.

Eventually the police arrive at the camp, and arrest Jonah. At the police station a drunkard Wilfred Bashford, who had spoken to Jonah just before he was given a ride by Taggart, is able to corroborate that Jonah had not been the driver of the stolen car. Jonah is freed, and returns to his friends at the camp.
