During the 1930s in coastal South Carolina, ten year old Matt
Cogswell (white) and 11 year old George Wigfall (black) become
inseparable pals. It is George's father who gave him the
uncomplimentary name - Fathead. The boys share many happy
adventures and growing experiences until George moves away to a big
city. Matt does not understand. He is disillusioned and distressed.
George's widowed mother remarries and the boy's name is changed. A
decade passes and the US is involved in WWII. The two men find
themselves in the crew of the same US Navy destroyer. George
recognizes Matt but the white lad, now a commissioned officer,
looks down on the unrecognized enlisted steward's mate. Seeing the
way the black man dallies with white prostitutes on liberty in
foreign and northern US ports further exasperates the situation.
Not until the ship is attacked and badly damaged by German aircraft
while escorting a convoy to Europe do the two men come to remember
their past friendship.
