Pain is an unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli, such as stubbing a toe, burning a finger, putting alcohol on a cut, and bumping the "funny bone." The International Association for the Study of Pain's widely used definition states: "Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage".
Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future. Most pain resolves promptly once the painful stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but sometimes pain persists despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body; and sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.
Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in the United States. It is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and can significantly interfere with a person's quality of life and general functioning. Psychological factors such as social support, hypnotic suggestion, excitement, or distraction can significantly modulate pain's intensity or unpleasantness.

Plot: Richard Foster is the brains of a quartet of con-artists that includes Giltedge, a stock swindler; "Painless," a phony dentist; and "Gorgeous," along as decoration and bait. Richard goes off alone to attend a reunion of his old high-school class but, when he gets there, he discovers that some of his old friends turn out to be not as simple as he remembered them. The reunion is really a plot to lure an old millionaire, Andrew Anshutter, and his money back to town. Richard enters into the scheme and sends for his friends. Thinks are going well for all concerned, with the exception of Anshutter, but Richard falls in love with his old flame from high-school, Susan Adams, and complications arise.

Black flames from the deathstar above
With strength I'll burn
The reason for me to see
Death in my dreams
A silent reminder
The end of all will kill the pain
Slowly I sear, I bury myself alive
And feel the weight of the world
