- A stirring American military drama. Lieut. Ralph Due of the U.S. Signal Corps, takes leave of Edna, his sweetheart, carrying her picture away with him. Bob, a former sweetheart, whom Edna still cares for, calls and pleads for her hand but is refused. Brokenhearted, he starts on the downward path, until ejected from a saloon without friends or money, he enlists in the U.S. Army and becomes a private under Lieut. Due, neither being aware that both love the same girl. Drunk one day on post duty, Bob is brought before Lieut. Due who offers him good advice as to a future career as a soldier, to which he replies, "I joined the army to be shot and forgotten, not reformed." As the troop is later ordered away to protect an outpost, Lieut. Due tells Bob that his chance to prove His worth is now at hand. The U.S. Cavalry are seen mounting their horses, and after a hard ride they reach the outpost and are soon engaged in a stirring battle, horses and men plunging wildly over the hilly country, amid shot and shell. In the midst of the fight Lieut. Due is fatally wounded and falls from his horse. When Bob, beside him, sees the Lieutenant kiss the picture of Edna, he at once realizes that both love the same girl. He hesitates only for an instant, then resolves to save the Lieutenant if possible, and calls for aid. Edna receives the message that Lieut. Due is dying, jumps on her horse and rides wildly towards the hospital on the battlefield, reaching there just before his death. The Lieutenant, dying, recognizes Edna, and places her hand in Bob's, dies, surrounded by soldiers with bared heads and tear stained eyes.
