All ages

Plot

Terry Malloy dreymir um að verða verðlaunaboxari, á sama tíma og hann hugsar um dúfur og vinnur á höfninni og sendist fyrir Johnny Friendly, spilltan yfirmann Sambands hafnarverkamanna. Terry verður vitni að morði sem tveir þrjótar Johnny fremja, og seinna hittir hann systur annars hinna myrtu, og fær samviskubit og finnst hann bera sök á dauða hans. Hún kynnir hann fyrir séra Barry, sem reynir að fá hann til að gefa yfirvöldum upplýsingar, sem myndu knésetja svindlarana á höfninni.
