Handlung
Militärakademie von West-Point, zwei Jahrzehnte vor Ausbruch des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges: Trotz aller Meinungsverschiedenheiten schließen der junge, aristokratische Südstaatler Orry Main und George Hazard aus dem frühkapitalistischen Norden eine tiefe Freundschaft, die Jahrzehnte überdauern soll. Orry liebt die junge, vornehme Madeline Vabray, die er auf dem Weg nach „West Point“ kennen gelernt hat. Doch Madelines Vater hintertreibt diese Liebesbeziehung.
