On The Waterfront Plot
Terry Malloy is a former prizefighter coerced by corrupt union boss Johnny Friendly into luring fellow dockworker Joey Doyle onto a roof. Joey drops from the ceiling, and Terry is visibly sore because he thinks the union thugs were merely talking with Joey about his gossiped plan to testify against Friendly to the Waterfront Crime Commission. The other dockworkers play deaf and dumb in fear for their lives. Terry reconnects with Joey's sister Edie, who disgraces the local priest Father Barry into calling the dockworkers to a meeting. Barry attempts to persuade them to stand jointly, but Friendly has sent Terry to report on what is said. Terry is teased by the other dockworkers before Friendly's men break up the meeting. Terry supports Edie's escape while Father Barry persuades Timothy "Kayo" Dugan to testify. Friendly admits to Terry that Dugan testified after closed doors, and the next day Dugan is destroyed by a load of whiskey set loose by Friendly's men. Edie and Terry discover Charley's body hung on a hook in the alley. Father Barry delights him while waiting, and the other union men run out to warn Friendly. Terry gives damning testimony to the commission, and Friendly is cut off from his significant friends while facing indictment. Refusing to leave the city with Edie, Terry seems at the dock for the daily ritual where employees are selected from the assembled longshoremen. Everyone is called to work except Terry, who taunts Friendly outside the nearby shack, shouting that he is proud of testifying. Friendly goads Terry into attacking and gets beaten until he calls for help from his thugs, who stop just shy of killing Terry. The longshoremen refuse to work unless Terry is permitted to operate, and Joey's father pushes Friendly into the river when he attempts to bully the men. Father Barry tells a badly injured Terry that he lost the battle but has a chance to win the war if he can walk into the warehouse. Terry stumbles up the gangway to stand before the warehouse, where the boss nods to Terry and advises them to get to work. The men pursue Terry inside, skipping Friendly as he lashes out with explicit threats and fists. The door shuts behind them, leaving Friendly out in the cold.
