Synopsis

Patrick, a New York Irish policeman, and August, a German barkeeper, are the best of friends, though both are rivals for Olga, a sculptress whose studio is nearby. When August is called to the front as a German reservist, he takes a wireless which he believes will help Germany in the war. Patrick and Olga decide they must confiscate the invention before it destroys the United States Army; Pat enlists in the Russian Army, as he is too old to join that of the United States. The friends meet on the Russo-German front, where Pat takes August prisoner; they engage in a game of dodging both armies, disguising themselves as women, and get into a Russian Battalion of Death. In their subsequent attempt to escape, news of the Armistice arrives. Returning home, they find that Olga has married in their absence.
