(alternative UK title: Meet Whiplash Willie)
A cameraman gets injured by a football player during a game and goes to the hospital. There, his cunning brother in law (who happens to be a lawyer) convinces him to pretend that his legs have been paralyzed. This way, they can receive a huge indemnity from the insurance company. Of course, the insurance company's men suspect that the paralysis is a fake one, and so a big "game" begins. The first collaboration of the successful team of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
