He is keen on enlisting, but is prevented from doing so by his mother who is lying ill, and a; physician is bribed to tell the son that..he has heart disease. He is filled wjth disgust, and one night after dissipating is put into the room occupied by a German spy, and receives a note intended for that individual, telling of. an attempt, to be made t» obtain possession of the secret of the explosives in his father's safe. He frustrates this plot, and when' he later discovers that the physician's diagnosis of his heart- is false, he enlists, his mother giving her consent, as she, realises tile unworthiness of her action in preventing him from fighting for democracy. The supporting items are well selected, and pleasing music is provided by the' Artcraft orchestra. '
