One day she meets Davidge, an American shipbuilder, and induces him to give her a job in the shipyards as her contribution ot the war effort. While at work in the plant, Marie is approached by Verrinder, a German spy, who attempts to enlist her in his plot to sabotage the operations.

Notes
Rupert Hughes' novel was serialized in The Red Book Magazine from September 1918 to June 1919. This was the first production of Eminent Authors' Pictures, Inc., a company formed to produce films from the works of a select number of famous authors. The individual author would, according to a news item, "have the final power of direction and supervision of his work." According to news items, Rupert Hughes worked with Anthony Paul Kelly on the adaptation of the film. One news item credits Eve Unsell with work on the adaptation. Rex Beach was the president and Samuel Goldwyn was the chairman of the board of directors of the company. The film was made at the Goldwyn studios in Culver City, CA. It had its premiere in Los Angeles in January 1920.
