Fred, Al and Homer are three World War II veterans facing difficulties as they re-enter civilian life. Fred (Dana Andrews) is a war hero who, unable to compete with more highly skilled workers, has to return to his low-wage soda jerk job.

After losing both hands in the war, Homer (Harold Russell) returns to his loving fiancée, but must struggle to adjust.
