When his girlfriend's husband is blinded in the war, a wealthy Argentinian's son is persuaded to enlist in the war effort, spurred on by a recruiter who believes that WWI is the beginning of the Apocalypse. Partly set in Argentina, partly in France this anti-German story describes the horrors of WW I as the background for a tragic story of illicit love. It was Rex Ingram's first truly successful movie and established Valentino as a star.
