In their paper of this title [1], Abhyankar and Moh have shown that (up to algebraic automorphism) the only embedding of the line in the plane, in characteristic 0, is the Standard one. For the complex numbers, this is a strong sort of unknotting theorem. In this paper, using only some reasonably elementary theory of knots, I give a new proof of the theorem of Abhyankar and Moh; this proof is intrinsically topological, and does not appear merely to be a translation of their original proof using "high-school algebra".
