Pen Tennyson directs this early Ealing Studios drama set in a Welsh
coal mining valley. Paul Robeson stars as David Goliath, a
charismatic African-American seaman who washes up in a small mining
village in Wales. There, he finds work alongside the miners down
the pit, and his magnificent singing voice attracts the attention
of local choir director Dick Parry (Simon Lack), who has ambitions
of winning the national choir contest on the strength of Goliath's
talent. However, a mining disaster puts both of these occupations
on hold, and Goliath rouses a group of activists to march to London
in the hope of reopening the mine in time to serve the nation's
wartime needs.
