NOTES In a car crash a man becomes a paraplegic. His girlfriend

who was also in the car has only scars around her eyes and

she dumps him.

The guy is well-off but living in an extended family ruled over

by his granddad. At one point we see him riding a horse but

we see no sign of how he grips the horse's belly.

He goes on a double date and hits it off with a gorgeous

redhead. Because he's disabled he hesitates to have sex--

for about 6 seconds. This turns out to be not just a one night

stand. But the gorgeous redhead comes from the wrong side

of the tracks and his family is against the relationship thinking

she's only after his money. The granddad tries to buy her off.

Once they're married she becomes impatient for him to have

independence from the granddad.



An old story supported by a couple of crutches.
