Large scale immigration into the U.S. from eastern and southern Europe was cut off during World War I. In the 1920s, new legislation was enacted which sharply curtailed a renewal of the immigrant flow. Eastern and southern Europe was feared as a source of leftists, anarchists, and terrorists. The plot of this silent film involves an American who is temporarily seduced by a band of immigrants seeking to create mayhem in the context of a labor dispute.
