Getting conked on the head with a thug's slapjack during a mugging causes a man lose consciousness and, when he awakens, to revert to his memory of events 3 years earlier, but he conveniently forgets that he's currently wanted for murder under an assumed identity. It's 1 AM, but Phil Townsend believes he's en route to his wedding to a fiancée named Virginia. His mug bursts from the front page of the local newspaper as Dave Webber, dressed-to-kill bodyguard for a gangland mouthpiece. The compassionate taxi driver who rescued Phil from the Bowery alley, drives him to Phil's fiancée's new address, where Virginia answers the door clutching her newborn. She's terrified that her former lover, now a fugitive, is there and fears that her abusive husband will assume the worst. When gentle, reliable Phil didn't show for the ceremony 3 years earlier, the distraught young woman hired a PI to find him to no avail. Phil is horrified when Virginia tells him she's now married to the gumshoe.
