As described in a film magazine,[5] after war is declared on Germany Ernest Short (Truex) enlists, and his best girl Emmy Little (Mason) determines to do her bit by running down a German spy. She falls in love with a German-American and, when he gets orders to kill an American officer, he proposes and they are married. Emmy's uncle, an army officer, is invited to the wedding. The plotters overcome the officer after the wedding and attempt to kill him. Ernest rescues the officer, trails the wedding party, and has the German placed under arrest. He and Emmy later marry.
