Waitress Anne clubs her lecherous boss with a frying pan, then accepts a ride with trucker Vic. They hear a radio broadcast accusing her of assault and robbery: she knows it was the counterman who stole the money after she left. Stopped by the police, Vic claims Anne is his sister. He takes her to the house he shares with his mother and sister. They fall in love, but Anne doesn’t want Vic to get involved in her troubles. She asks Leo to drop the robbery charges, but he says he wants her to pay for hitting him. However, Vic and the police overhear him, and Anne is cleared.
