On the vast rolling wheatlands of eastern Washington, young Kurt Dorn, son of a bitter German-born farmer, loves Lenore Anderson, the daughter of a rich rancher, as America enters the war. Harvest becomes a battlefield when I.W.W. agitators, said to be backed by German agents, threaten the crops, and Kurt must prove where his loyalty lies.
