Scott Richards suddenly finds himself awake in a strange room with no idea where his is, or how he got there. Worse, he discovers that he is suffering from an extremely rare condition. Total amnesia. His first tentative steps in the search for himself leads him to a chance encounter with an exquisitely beautiful woman who is also searching for something and feels an immediate affinity for him. This encounter leads to him to an unlikely ape like man by the name of Jack Slate who has made a fortune in the construction business. Unfortunately, his corporation has been trouble for sometime and is on the verge of collapse. In only a short time, he is somehow able to look past the wall of confusion and see that Scott is the salvation of his company. With full knowledge that without a shred of memory, he like Jack's construction empire, will surely fail. With his back to the very wall, and without the slightest hint of his mental condition, Jack convinces Scott to charge headlong into his seemly hopeless struggle.
