When Tommy Graham enters the U. S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) he incurs the enmity of upperclassman Chuck Baldwin, football star, by falling for Chuck's girl, Judy Holland. The night before the big game of the plebe (freshman) season, Tommy sneaks out to see Judy, Baldwin sees him, reports him, and Tommy is not allowed to play in the game. The following year, the two rivals for Judy are also competing for the quarterback position on the varsity team for Navy. Baldwin wins the position but the night before the big game against West Point (Army) Baldwin breaks the team-curfew rule. Tommy covers for him and ends up being suspended. Will Baldwin do the right thing?
