Champion de boxe à la carrière florissante considérant l'humanité avec dédain, Jimmy Dolan tue accidentellement un journaliste lors d'une soirée. Il prend la fuite avant l'arrivée des secours et de la police. Un accident lui permet de passer pour mort. Devenu un anonyme, il trouve refuge dans une ferme qui abrite un institut pour enfants handicapés. Là, au contact de ces enfants, Jimmy perd son cynisme et se prend d'affection pour eux et pour madame Moore, qui dirige l'établissement. Mais un jour, un inspecteur de police le reconnaît. Jimmy doit alors prendre une décision difficile : s'échapper à nouveau ou se rendre et assumer ses actes passés.

Connie Ward (Ann Rutherford) is a young woman who on the spur of the moment marries Bill Abbott (George Montgomery), a trumpet player in Gene Morrison's (Glenn Miller) swing band (Miller's character was given a name with initials that matched Miller's so that the band could use their monogrammed stainless-steel music stands). She soon finds herself at odds with the cattiness and petty jealousies of the other band members' spouses, as they accompany their husbands on their cross-country train tour. Her discomfort is exacerbated by a flirtation between Abbott and Jaynie (Lynn Bari), the band's female vocalist. When Ward eventually walks out on Abbott, their split releases so many other tensions among the musicians and their wives, that leader Morrison is forced to break up the orchestra. Ward and the band's pianist Sinjin (Cesar Romero) then work behind the scenes to reunite the band, which also produces a reconciliation between Ward and Abbott (with additional help from Connie's father (Grant Mitchell)).

After graduating from Pacific Night Law School in Los Angeles, feisty and ambitious Mexican American Johnny Ramirez loses his first court case because he is ill-prepared. His poor, Hispanic client's truck was destroyed by careless debutante Dale Elwell. Johnny is harassed by the opposing attorney, uppercrust Brook Manville, who is defending his lover, Elwell. Johnny reacts, losing his temper and the case. Disbarred for his actions, he journeys to a small town south of the border and finds work as a bouncer, in a seedy casino owned by Charlie Roark. Johnny helps transform the dive into a first-class nightclub called the Silver Slipper that attracts an upscale crowd, and Charlie makes him a partner to reward him for his efforts.
