When Master Sergeant Albert Callan, a World War II hero and an Army regular, is assigned to the company, the captain quickly melts into the background. The men get on the ball, and the sergeant, half hated, half respected, is insistently felt as a ruthless, unbending presence who is long on Army regulations, short on common humanity. Sadly enough for Tom Swanson. the middle-aged sergeant takes a shine to him. He installs him as company clerk, breaks up his lyrical love affair with a charming French girl, and begins an unconscious homosexual...
