Sully is a rascally ne'er-do-well approaching retirement age. While he is pressing a worker's compensation suit for a bad knee, he secretly works for his nemesis, Carl, and flirts with Carl's young wife Toby.

Meanwhile, Sully's landlady's banker son plots to push through a new development and evict Sully from his mother's life.
