Arrestato dopo una rapina conclusasi con la morte del suo migliore amico, ucciso dai complici, Johnny trova nel dottor Resher un protettore. Il medico lo sottopone a un'operazione di plastica facciale che riporta il suo volto, deturpato da una terribile deformazione congenita, alla normalità. Quando esce dal carcere, ormai irriconoscibile, Johnny entra in un programma di riabilitazione per ex galeotti e trova lavoro in un cantiere navale. Nel frattempo organizza una nuova rapina con gli ex complici che avevano tradito lui e il suo amico, al solo scopo di fregarli.
