Synopsis

Upon discovering his father's disgrace from the reading of his will, Monte leaves his sweetheart, Claire Marsh, and enlists to fight in the Spanish-American war. Under the leadership of Aguinaldo, their guerilla chieftain, the Filipinos swear death to the American invaders. As a last resort, Monte is ordered to ingratiate himself with Roma, a halfcaste who follows the troops of Aguinaldo; soon she becomes infatuated with Monte. Colonel Marsh and his daughter, Claire, arrive at the post; and Roma, who finds a picture of Claire in Monte's effects, makes passionate love to Monte in Claire's presence. After a series of adventures, Monte obtains the directions to Aguinaldo's camp and brings about the defeat of the insurrectionists. The grief-stricken Claire has agreed to marry Grover, but Monte returns to denounce him as a traitor. Monte and Claire are reunited.
