Synopsis
Native American John Nisheto serves with the American Army in France during World War I where he saves the life of Jack Burr, the son of a senator. Back in the United States Jack, not realising it is the same man who saved him, objects to John's courting of his sister due to his ethnicity despite John's success as a scholar and athlete. Only too late does Jack come to realise the truth after John is mortally wounded.
