A finales de los años cincuenta, la sociedad británica experimenta un cierto clima de odio racial, que afecta sobremanera a los trabajadores de color, inmigrantes en su mayoría, que sienten la animadversión de algunos de sus jefes y de sus compañeros. Este no es el caso de Jacko Palmer, un artesano que realiza su oficio en una fábrica londinense, siempre dispuesto a ayudar a la comunidad negra. No obstante, la actitud que adopta Jacko Palmer en relación a este tema, se pone nuevamente a prueba cuando su hija Kathie se enamora de un colega suyo, el maestro de escuela de raza negra, originario de Jamaica, Peter Lincoln. Su convicción personal lleva a Jacko a aceptar la relación, pero encuentra la oposición de su esposa Nell. Tan sólo una revuelta que enfrenta a una banda de hampones con un grupo de jamaicanos indefensos hace recapacitar a Nell y, de esta forma, aceptar el futuro matrimonio entre su hija y el joven antillano.
