The story centers around Captain Dick Prescott, who is part of the Ninety-ninth Infantry regiment as they prepare for battle against German forces.

The opening of the book introduces Captain Prescott and his fellow officers at training camp, highlighting the rigorous expectations set by their commanding officer, Colonel Cleaves. As the regiment trains, they navigate both camaraderie and conflicts among themselves, particularly with a fellow officer, Captain Cartwright, and a struggling non-commissioned officer, Sergeant Mock.
