The Fighting 69th
A WWI regiment of New York-Irish soldiers is sent to No Man's Land and the horrors found there turn young soldier Plunkett (James Cagney) from a cocky street-smart boy into a cowardly mess. The chaplain, Father Duffy (Pat O'Brien), tries to make Plunkett see the greater good (to no avail) and an act of cowardice leads to terrible consequences - but Plunkett sees in them a chance to redeem himself...if only he can.
