Joe Radek (Paul Muni), an immigrant miner, unwittingly finds himself leading a union of striking workers. Tensions rise when the mining corporation brings in scabs to replace their protesting employees, along with a group of thugs to keep the union quiet. After Joe's best friend, Mike (John T. Qualen), crosses the hired hoodlums, tragedy follows. Mourning the loss of Mike, Joe decides he must take drastic measures to ensure that the mine owners recognize the demands of the strikers.
