LeonardStarsCharles LaughtonBinnie BarnesRichard CarlsonA crusty old Sergeant of the Queen's Australian army in World War I befriends a small orphaned boy and his tiny sister on the night he is to go back to Australia.

As adults, the boy becomes the national boxing champion of Australia and the girl is a polished and beautiful young woman.
