AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A badly wounded WWI veteran returns belatedly to find himself depressed and in ill-health, the world indifferent, and his war bride attracted to her father's young business partner. When the veteran decides to prove himself by working with the firm the two men discover they were war mates. The partner gives up his tendre for the wife, but before he leaves tells her how her husband saved his (the partner's) life in the war. Thinking him a hero helps her to save the marriage.
