- Mr. Bretton's wife decides she would rather pursue an opera career, so they separate, leaving him to raise their young daughter Daphne (Mildred Harris). She is expelled from boarding school after Richard Wiltoner is found in her room under innocent circumstances. Her father sends her to the Adirondacks, where she meets a rogue and soon elopes with him. When her father discovers that he is a bigamist, he has their marriage annulled. Happily, Mrs. Bretton returns to her husband and Daphne and Richard fall in love and marry.
- A fancy of what might happen if the Kaiser's Zeppelin fleet should make an attack on New York is depicted. The Zeppelins are shown on their course across the sky as they come over the sea laden with bombs. The big city is shown darkened and the harbor lights extinguished, as all Manhattan Island holds tight and waits. A bombing aeroplane is shown, scout aboard, as it soars off into the upper air. There is a battle in the night-blackened sky. The Zeppelins are seen dropping their bombs of fire and explosive on the great skyscrapers of lower Broadway. The defending aeroplanes rush about. Then comes a hit. A Zeppelin is blasted to bits, burns in air and crashes to earth a cindered mass. Victory for the defenders.
- A motherless family is thrown into crisis when the father is injured at work. With no workers' compensation to fall back on, the eldest daughter, Mary, has to work long hours for low wages until she collapses. As a result, her coworkers band together to unionize.
- The picture, which was taken in Wyoming at the famous IXL and Eaton Bros. ranch, show vacationists arriving by stage; telephoto view of the ranch in the distance nestling among the mountains; exciting "broncho busting" scenes; beautiful horseback rides over the mountain trails; trout fishing; swimming and outdoor sports in the heart of the mountains; and wonderful vistas of Rocky Mountain scenery. The picture is tinted and toned, so as to give dual tone and triple tone effects.
- How a raw recruit is made into a real U.S. Navy "Jackie" is depicted. The picture was made at the U.S. Naval Training Station at Lake Bluff in Illinois. This station, on the west shore of Lake Michigan, is the greatest of its kind in the United States, and it is there that the youths destined for service on our fighting ships are taken to learn their trade of war.
