Cousin Janie announces that her sweetheart, Charlie Squiggles, is on his way to marry her. Auntie is angered. She insists that he is a slacker and refuses to allow him to come to the home. Uncle Ted, who is an officer of the Home Guard, has a great fondness for Janie, and makes it appear that Charlie has come to join the Home Guard. Charlie arrives, and not knowing he is Janie's sweetheart, Auntie treats him royally. At a banquet, Auntie announces that the ladies can do the fighting on the field of battle as well as the men and that she has organized a company of women who will begin drilling the next day. The next day Auntie has her troubles with the woman regiment, but after adopting male tactics, she soon brings her ranks to order. Uncle Ted's company deserts and joins Auntie's contingent; but the Major saves the day. Then America calls, and we find men from every walk of life answering it. Uncle Ted and Auntie forget their personal difficulties and hold themselves in readiness to do or die for their country. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
