After an impressive showing on and off the field while attending Cambridge, Steve Early, the son of an American military attache in London, dutifully accepts a commission to attend West Point where five previous generations of Early's have made their mark. Soon after arriving at the Academy, Steve's confidence and manner earned him the derisive nickname "The Duke", so dubbed by his classmates who view the plebe as arrogant and entitled. Not to be deterred, Steve devotes himself to his studies and athletics, while budgeting time for Ann Porter, who's become the object of his affection despite the presence of a cadet rival. All appears to be going well for Steve until he violates the honor code to secretly help a financially struggling fellow plebe stay at "The Point" an untold good deed that results in his being shunned by the rest of his class.
