French Dorothy Dalton and Quebecois Edmund Lowe are engaged and living in Los Angeles. A parade inspires Lowe to enlist, and he is soon posted to France. Miss Dalton receives a letter from an old friend recounting the death of her parents at the hands of the Germans, and she is soon there as a nurse. When the Germans reinvade her village and are cruel to her, she almost despairs. Meanwhile, Lowe is ordered to deliver a message to the Americans about a counterattack. His airplane is shot down, guess where? And guess who has to carry the message.
It's Lowe's third or fourth movie, and director Roy William Neill had been wielding the megaphone for only a couple of years, so this movie looks like it was compiled from snippets of other films and a mish-mosh of Miss Dalton's other vehicles for producer Thomas Ince. She was a popular action star for the company. Although she is certainly very broad in her action, she pop off the screen. The battle sequences look like they were lifted from other films and assembled into a mostly coherent fight by the editor, for a good programmer.
