Larry Nevins (Arthur Kennedy), a blinded World War 2 veteran, is discharged from the General Hospital, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. A patient nurse (Peggy Dow) has helped him regain confidence and overcome both his feelings and his disability. He returns home and attempts to adapt himself to civilian life. Unfortunately, neither his parents (Will Geer and Nana Bryant) nor his fiancee (Julia Adams) can cope with his affliction. His bitterness and anger returns.
--John Reid, Resident Scholar
