Chico, a young Puerto Rican living in Spanish Harlem, becomes a heroin addict after a rivalry between him and his father for his mother's affection. Following a 6-month jail term, he is now cured of his drug habit and working in his father's business. Chico meets Nick, his former dealer, for a casual drink, but his father assumes he has resumed drug use.
