In Hoboken, New Jersey wordt de haven geleid door de corrupte vakbond en door hun al even corrupte leiders. Terry Malloy kon een professionele bokser worden maar werd uiteindelijk een klusjesman van de vakbondsbaas Johnny Friendly. Malloy wordt zonder het te beseffen betrokken bij een moord. Later ontmoet hij de zus van de vermoorde man, Edie, en zij brengt Malloy in contact met pastoor Barry. De priester probeert Malloy te overtuigen om in een rechtszaak te getuigen tégen Johnny Friendly en zijn manschappen.

Een dialoog tussen Terry Malloy en zijn broer Charley is na stemming door het American Film Institute gekozen tot derde memorabele tekst in de filmgeschiedenis[3]. In de film Raging Bull in 1980 werd aan deze beroemde dialoog gerefereerd.
Charley: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.
Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Charley: Well, I had some bets down for ya. You saw some money.
Terry: You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.
