Small town social leader Joan Morant, who holds
herself aloof from the "common people," is thrilled when wartime activity
strikes her community. Enlisting the support of her uncle, a
congressman, she obtains an assignment overseas.
Although she loves Reggie, a wealthy sheik, Joan
plays with the affections of Pike, a local garage owner, both of whom she
meets in France. Tom Pike, transformed by his war experiences, rebuffs
Joan's advances, and she seeks out Reggie, who is living his accustomed life
of luxury as a supply sergeant.
Joan's female companions, constantly making
great sacrifices, impress upon her the seriousness of purpose in her work,
and she resolves to do her part. When Reggie, called to the front,
becomes hopelessly drunk, she dons his uniform and replaces him in the
ranks, where she experiences a new admiration and love for Tom, her
commander. Proving her heroism in battle, she returns to Tom, worthy
of his love. |
