[1] George Darcy and Tim Ryan, rival gang leaders, find themselves working on the machinery of a U.S. Navy ship during World War I.

For a time, their rivalry over politics and a young woman named Rose is put to rest by shipboard discipline, but the ship's chaplain, Father Joe, finally decides to have them meet in a ring.

After the war, their feud continues until drug dealers kill one of George's brothers and a friend of Tim's.

Later, under Father Joe's auspices, a fight is arranged between them, and George emerges victorious.
