Synopsis
Senator Wright and foundry foreman Richard Wallace lobby hard in Washington for passage of a war preparedness bill, which Congress finally enacts. Foreign spies Keron Theris and Orlin Dagore tell their governments that it will be at least two years before the United States is ready to fight, though, thus guaranteeing the success of an immediate invasion. Richard, however, called in by the president, presents him with a plan through which American industry could arm the country almost instantly. The president puts the plan into action, and Theris and Dagore quickly revise their opinion and warn their governments against an invasion of the United States.

Notes
According to an ad the film was originally intended to be distributed by state rights exchanges, but made so strong an impression on Bluebird executives, that they bought the rights. They did not release it on their regular Bluebird program, but as a special release. According to news items, six members of President Woodrow Wilson's Cabinet and the Council of National Defense attended a showing of the film in Washington, D.C. Some of the scenes showing the process of manufacturing various forms of munitions were shot with the consent and cooperation of the U.S. Government.
