Ted Streaver is orphaned at nine. He is raised by two friends of his father, a former boxer and a former nightclub singer. When he graduates from college, Ted (Charles Starrett) becomes an All American football player. His guardians can't attend his away games because they both work, but Ted remains upbeat and happy.
