The head draughtsman makes it very unpleasant for his subordinate. Their relations become so strained that it becomes necessary for the government to discharge the younger of the two men. The young draughtsman is very much incensed against the government. He is out of work for a long time, and his family becomes destitute. His wife is forced to take in work she is not accustomed to, and many nights she puts their child to bed with very little to eat. Because of their close proximity to the barracks, the child is very much interested in soldiers and is naturally very patriotic. George Washington is a god to the child, and the country he built represents paradise to him. The father in his wanderings looking for work, meets an agent for a foreign government, who offers him a big sum for duplicates of the plans of certain fortifications on the Pacific coast. The draughtsman tells his wife about it and she advises him to go to the government and try to get a hearing. He is discouraged in his attempts by repeated repulses and temporizing methods of certain authorities. Finally the draughtsman grows desperate and decides to accept the proposition made him by the foreign spy. The patriotic son of the draughtsman saves his father from treason and disgrace by unique and timely interference. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
