A young man who works in the shipyards as a dockworker is invited to stay with a friend in Paris. He decides to make a go of it in the big city and gets a job in an auto manufacturing plant, joining the union when the workers propose a takeover of the company. He begins to date a local girl, and things go well until the tedium of his job and blind allegiance to the worker's union begins to wear down his spirit.
