Arthur Kennedy and Peggy Dow star in this Second World War drama. After being blinded by a German sniper in North Africa, US soldier Larry Nevins (Kennedy) is placed in a military hospital where he tries to adapt to his disability with help from his fellow wounded servicemen and his new friends Joe (James Edwards) and Judy (Dow). When he eventually returns home, Joe finds himself questioning long-held attitudes and whether he was right to abandon his new friends in an attempt to reclaim his old life.
