The story

In the early 19th century, after a heated congressional debate, the United States Military Academy at West Point opens despite some doubting its worth - including the officer in charge, Major Sam Carter. A number of men enlist in the first class, including rich Howard Shelton who arrived with his valet, Kentucky backwoodsman Joe Dawson and also a cadet who is trying to regain his family's honour because he happens to be a nephew of the American traitor Benedict Arnold. The men are initially antagonistic towards each other, especially when Joe falls for Howard's fiancé, Carolyn Brainbridge.
