Don Taylor is a soldier returning from Korea. His parents are immigrants living in a small town, his father working for the railroad. Taylor wants more out of his life, and after a brief stint doing manual labor for the railroad fails he goes to NYC. He works for Raymond Burr, a PR man who has more than he can handle with a couple of spoiled rich women he tries to keep out of the headlines. Burr takes a liking to Taylor and decides to transform him from a common man to a debonaire playboy with a new identity. At first he relishes his new persona, but when it begins to fall apart he must rely on his poor family and the rich girl he fell in love with to save himself. Overacted at times, but still a fascinating portrayal of a man struggling with his identity.
