Summaries

A wealthy young American, bred to class distinction and racial intolerance, enters First World War. In the course of his experiences in the trenches and being wounded, he comes to a recognition of the equality and brotherhood of men.

Class pride, unbelief in God, and race prejudice were Phil Landicutt's chief faults, and his mother let him enlist in the marines in the hope that upon the field of war he might find himself. Fighting for the democracy of the world, Phil finds democracy himself, and class pride and race prejudice are swept away, while in his great hour comes the knowledge of his Maker, and he is invalided home to justify his mother's faith and to find a greater reward than he had dared to hope for.—Moving Picture World synopsis
