After his discharge from the military and a stint in the war, young Bruce Adams returns to his home town and his work in the coal mine, the primary industry in the town. Despite not liking the work, he believes it's his destiny as his philosophy is "once a miner, always a miner". His father, Bob Adams, was a miner, who died in an accident in the mines. Without a place to stay, Bruce is taken in by John Roberts, who knew his father as a fellow miner but who Bruce does not know personally. Despite the hardships and the meager pay, John is fiercely proud of his work. As Bruce gets resettled into life in the town, he sees his life there through renewed eyes, especially after attending a union meeting and hearing about their work with respect to the war effort.
