Running five reels, this wartime drama was produced in Denmark by the Nordisk company. Production credits are unavailable, but one suspects that talented workhorse Holger Madsen had something to do with the film. The story concentrates not on sweeping battle scenes, but on personalities, chiefly the attaché of an unidentified European nation. In love with the daughter of the army's chief commander, the attaché is denied permission to bid goodbye to the girl before he is called off to battle. By passing her martinet father, the girl delivers messages to her sweetheart via carrier pigeon. Melodrama rears its ugly head in the final reels, as the hero is forced to betray his own country to save the life of the girl's father. Only the cessation of hostilities (and, perhaps, a shortage of pigeons) enables the hero and heroine to be reunited.
