Guardsman Mike O'Shay and much-decorated CPO 'Medals' Malone hate each other
even before they meet, and their enmity isn't helped by O'Shay's attraction to
Doris, Medals' daughter. Medals has plans for Doris to marry officer's candidate
Steve, and does everything he can to keep Mike and Doris apart. When Steve is
seriously injured on an iceberg demolition assignment because Malone and O'Shay
are fighting, courts martial are in order. Malone swears he'll say anything to
get O'Shay drummed out of the service, but whose story will the officers
believe?
