Stewart Haskins is a mild-mannered man who works in a grocery warehouse.

He is competent but his boss is not and belittles him at every opportunity in an attempt to compensate for his own inadequacies.

While Mr. Haskins doesn't seem the type to garner attention from anyone, a young lady who works in the office at the warehouse has taken an interest in him on two fronts; She is a studying psychology at night at the local college and is interested in making a case study of him. And second, she seems to have feelings for him.

Meanwhile, someone termed "The Public Avenger" is depopulating the underworld.

The young lady and her professor begin a quest to determine if they possess any clues to the killings.
