David quickly becomes skilled as a compositor, but Tom has more trouble adjusting to civilian life. Eventually, however, Tom makes the acquaintance of Armstrong, an extremely patriotic manufacturer with a lucrative government contract. Armstrong is the target of a foreign power that attempts to undermine his company by sending a phony labor delegate into the ranks of his workers, but the delegate is exposed. Meanwhile, David, unaware that Mildred loves Tom, has fallen in love with her. The Bolshevist group targeting Armstrong, led by Craig, plants a fake story in the Daily Record, insinuating that Armstrong is not loyal to the government or his workers. Craig is hoping to steal the government contract away from Armstrong, but his plans go awry when Mildred learns the truth and threatens to publish an exposé of Craig. In the gang's efforts to stop the publication, David is killed, and he dies not knowing that Mildred does not love him. Soon after, the culprits are arrested and Mildred and Tom look forward to a happy life together. Written by AFI See less
