As life is being wasted all around him, Captain La Roche (Warner Baxter) becomes more and more sombre. He gives each fresh wave of replacements the same hollow speech about the proud traditions of the regiment, then sends them out to be slaughtered by the Germans. He lives almost exclusively on a diet of cognac and aspirin. His love rival for the affections of a pretty nurse is the idealistic and carefree junior officer (Fredric March). Into the regiment comes Private Moran, a grizzled army.

Howard Hawks directs this drama set amongst the trenches of World War 1. At the heart of the story is Captain La Roche (Warner Baxter), part of a French regiment on the front line of the war against the Germans. As the war goes on and La Roche is forced to order more and more men 'over the top' to their deaths, he becomes increasingly melancholy and preoccupied. His love for nurse Monique La Coste (June Lang) is a welcome distraction, though he faces a battle to win her affection with the charming Lieutenant Michel Denet (Fredric March). How will La Roche fare in both love and war?
