    It sounds ambivilent.

    Does it mean to imply that because he is a good (no need for capital G) man he will help these people automatically because they are in distress?

    Does it mean that "He is a very good man and he is in great distress?"

    You have to explain the relationship between the man and the people if you include it in one sentence as written above.

    Otherwise, Put a full stop after "man." and begin a new sentence showing the relationship between the two.

    Sort of like: "He's a gentleman and a scholar and there's damn few left".
