Summary

If you need a job Charlie Malik can find a spot for you in the dockside railyards. All he needs in return is that you show up on time, work hard--and kick back part of your pay. Two laborers join forces against this corrupt New York waterfront union official and share a bond that cuts across society's black/white divide.
