A patriotic German American attempts to prove his loyalty to the U.S. (and also impress the gal he loves) by enlisting in the army during WW I, but unfortunately is rejected. This romantic silent comedy follows his exploits as he proves his mettle after accidently discovering a German base, single-handedly capturing it and freeing a U.S. hostage. Naturally the young hero's girl is delighted. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
