West Point was founded in the early 1800s, and this story tells the tale of the first class. Laird Cregar drives the first class into the ground; just 10 cadets remain at graduation. One is rural boy Montgomery who will do anything for his country. Another is rich boy Sutton, at the academy because it is fashionable. Both want the hand of OHara, with Montgomery winning her with his straight ways. The young cadets prove themselves to Cregar by repelling an Indian attack, and he sees that the academy is a good idea. (official distributor synopsis)
