Synopsis
Barry Weston, who has been coddled into cowardice by his mother, goes off to war and out of sheer terror fights splendidly. He is welcomed back to his hometown as a hero, though he himself feels that he does not merit the praise. He is idolized by Janet, his sweetheart, but Vance, the town bully, is jealous of her attentions to Barry and taunts him publicly, daring him to fight. Despite her love for him, Janet gives up on Barry, and even his friend Wienie thinks him an irremediable coward. Barry returns his medals to the War Department and in desperation sets out to conquer all his fears; at last, confident, he determines to even the score with Vance. With his victory over Vance, Barry regains Janet's love and the respect of the town.
