British naval vessel HMS Avenger presses into service a crewman "according to the Rights of War" from the merchant ship The Rights of Man. The new crewman, Billy Budd (Terence Stamp), is considered naive by his shipmates, and they attempt to indoctrinate him in their cynicism. Budd manages to enchant the crew, but his attempts at befriending the brutal master-at-arms, John Claggart (Robert Ryan) are unsuccessful.
