Strange, kindly Joe's search for happiness and answers to the far reaching enigmas of life takes him to Nick's waterfront saloon where his friend and errand boy, huge and simple, falls in love with a fragile lady of the evening. To protect their happiness, Joe almost shoots a vice raider. Wandering in and out of the saloon are vivid characters who want to get more living done and are as unsure as Joe about how to go about it.
