Joe Morelli (
Tom Neal), boxing champion of the U. S. Navy fleet, is being mustered out, against the wishes of his pals and the Commander. Going home, he finds his father, a fishing-boat operator, in financial difficulties, and his foster-brother endangering parental fortunes with his estrangements of fishing crews and shore associates. Further complications arise, including their rivalry for Lisa (
Wendy Waldron), lead to a situation in which Joe unwillingly agrees to fight a professional-boxer in a winner-take-all bout. Adapted from the "Collier's Magazine" story, of the same title, by Talbert Joselyn.
