Plot
As described in a film magazine reviews,[3] in England before the outbreak of the First World War, Captain Roddy Dunton and Lieutenant Dick Chappel court the same woman, Violet Deering. She becomes engaged to Dunton, and Chappel accepts her choice. On leave from the British Army on the Western Front, Chappel brings Violet a message from Dunton. Violet infatuates him and Dunton's sister Tessie sees them embrace. Violet, trapped, breaks her engagement with Dunton. When Chappel returns to the trenches, Dunton, angered, persuades Chappel to take part in a reckless attack on the German lines, hoping he will be killed. Instead, the brave Chappel is badly wounded. Later, full of remorse, Dunton shoots himself, committing suicide. Chappel returns home where he denounces Violet and is nursed back to health by Dunton's sister Tessie.
