Racketeer Socks Barstow murders his silent partner, Joe Sargis, for embezzling money from the sale of their latest shipment of stolen goods. Because of this murder, police commissioner Ryan reinstates Sergeant Mike Hanrahan as lieutenant in charge of the harbor division. Mike, who was demoted because he let a personal grudge against Barstow affect his judgment, is brought back on the job because of his intimate knowledge of the waterfront, out of which Barstow operates. That night, Mike's brother Denny comes home from the hospital, after recuperating from an airplane crash. When Denny learns that he has been permanently grounded because of his risk-taking, he quits his job, but is unable to find work as a pilot. Denny refuses Mike's offer to join the police force, and is offended when his brother accuses him of having too much pride. (official distributor synopsis)
