Jake Holman (Steve McQueen) transfers to the Yangtze River Patrol gunboat USS San Pablo. He is senior engineer, responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship's engine. Holman earns the antipathy of most of his fellow sailors, but does become close friends with one seasoned, sensitive petty officer, Frenchy. Frenchy has saved an educated Chinese woman, Maily, from prostitution by paying her debts, but dies of pneumonia.
