Giuseppe Rocco, an Italian immigrant, raises himself from nothing to immense wealth and political influence and becomes the patriarch of a dynasty of three sons. When one son stuns the family by wedding Sally Martínez, a penniless grocery-store checkout clerk, Giuseppe recognizes in his tough daughter-in-law a steely determination equal to his own.
