Synopsis

After bringing down yet another German aviator and escaping uninjured from a burning plane, Haggerty and his buddy, machinist Klaxon, head for Paris without leave of absence. In escaping from M. P.'s, Haggerty takes refuge in a room occupied by Germaine. From her protection springs a love affair, and Haggerty decides to reform, returning to Major Cotton with this resolution. He is unprepared, however, to be awarded a medal for distinguished service. The major, when introduced to Germaine at the officers' ball, recognizes her as Go-Go, a notorious cabaret dancer, and tries to inform Haggerty of her identity. Haggerty knocks him down, and they are both arrested. At the trial, the major tells his story and Germaine confesses. After the Armistice, it develops that Go-Go is actually Germaine's sister, and that Germaine was trying to protect her. The lovers are reunited.
