Synopsis
Sarah Ann Dowey, a widowed Scotch charwoman, regrets that she has no son at the front during the war. Reading of the exploits of Kenneth, a young Canadian soldier of the "Black Watch" regiment, she claims he is her son, and when he is wounded and sent to London on a 5-day leave, a Y. M. C. A. worker tells him that he has met his mother. Kenneth chides Sarah for the deception but agrees to let her be his mother during his stay. He gets into a fight with British sailors over his kilts; and cursing the army, he threatens to desert; but touched by his "mother's" patriotism, he returns to the front in good cheer. Later, in Flanders, he is sent on a mission and never returns; his "mother" receives his medals awarded for bravery and marches off to work, her head held high.
