Synopsis
During World War I, Arthur Morgan, an inventor from the South who has perfected a revolutionary airplane engine, needs money to complete his work because his family fortune was lost during the Civil War. A German spy offers to buy his invention, but Arthur refuses, after which the spy tries to capture Arthur's sweetheart and then seduce him through the wiles of the Countess Von Shoenburg. When the spy finally resolves to destroy Arthur's workshop, Rover, the family dog, carries the bomb away and drops it by the tree behind which the agent is hiding. The spy is killed and the ground opens, revealing Arthur's long-lost family fortune.

Notes
The film was completed in July but not released until the fall of 1918. It May also have been released in 1919 under the titles Commercial Pirates and Hun Within Our Days. The film was edited and titled at the Thanhouser Film Corp. studios at New Rochelle, NY. Although no producing organization is mentioned in sources, Arrow Film Corp., which released the film, was also producing at the Thanhouser studios in 1918, and thus May have made the film. W. E. Shallenberger, the president of Arrow, also managed the Thanhouser studios.
