Terry Malloy is a former prize fighter coerced by corrupt union boss Johnny Friendly into luring fellow dockworker Joey Doyle onto a rooftop. Joey is pushed off the roof, and Terry is visibly upset because he believed that the union thugs were merely going to talk with Joey about his rumored plan to testify against Friendly to the Waterfront Crime Commission. The remaining dockworkers keep quiet out of dread for their lives. Terry re-establishes contact with Joey’s sister Edie, who pressures the local priest Father Barry into convening a conference with the dockworkers. Barry attempts to rally them, but Friendly has dispatched Terry to report on what has been said. The other dockworkers make fun of Terry before Friendly’s men break up the gathering. While Timothy “Kayo” Dugan is persuaded by Father Barry to speak, Terry assists Edie in escaping. Friendly reveals to Terry that Dugan testified behind closed doors, and the next day Dugan is killed by a load of whiskey barrels set loose by Friendly’s men.
