David 'Butler' works at a car-wash in a black neighborhood run by a drug dealer with a black panther. He tries to help two orphans, the youngest of which is a diabetic.

Caught in a car accident on his way to Santa Fe, New Mexico which badly injures his face and causes amnesia, a bandaged David is befriended by Jack McGee who's unaware of "John Doe's" real identity. McGee hires a plane to take the pair to a specialist in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, their plane goes down in the woods and Jack injures his legs. Now it is up to David to get them out of there.
