...hero is Joe Chapin (Gary Cooper), leading citizen of "Gibbsville," a small town in Pennsylvania, "a gentleman in a world that has no use for gentlemen." Decent, limited, middleaged, he is as set in his honorable ways as any samurai in his Bushido. and step by inevitable step the story describes how he is driven to commit what might be called O'Hara-kiri -he drinks himself to death...
