with Desmond Wilcox 2: Get Up and Walk Philip Olds became a hero and a cripple in the same instant, when a gunman's bullet severed his spine. He refused to accept life in a wheelchair. In Dayton, Ohio, a computer genius, Professor Jerry Petrofsky , had found a way to restore walking to the paralysed.
