The film tells the story of the American soldier George Kritzman, who fought in the Korean War (1950–1953) and was badly wounded by machine gun fire. The odyssey of his rescue behind the enemy lines and the subsequent transport from hospital to hospital back to his homeland is depicted. During this difficult time, the wounded man was helped by the thoughts of his family, whom he had assured that he would come back.

("Today, in Veteran's Administration hospitals throughout the country, there are many George Kritzmans ... all journeying on the long road back to a normal and secure civilian life. They will need your help. Remember this ... particularly the next time you receive your miniature automobilie license key tag ... for it is sent to you by the DAV, the National Organization of Disabled American Veterans, chartered by Congress to aid millions of disabled veterans who have come back ... from battlefields all over the world.
