Hobart Bosworth is Oscar Krug, an American-born taxidermist who is nevertheless hassled by the people in his town for his German heritage as World War I roars to life overseas. He is in love with Alice (Jane Novak), daughter of a banker who disapproves of her union with the son of a kraut. Angered by the injustice of these attacks on his character, Krug enlists in patriotic fury.
The determined taxidermist becomes a sea captain, but before he ships out, he marries Alice. When her father finds out, he throws her out of the house. She sneaks onto her husband's freighter because she has nowhere else to go. The ship is attacked, leaving the pair stranded in a lifeboat.
When a U-boat appears, they think they are rescued, but the heartless captain (played by a sneering Wallace Beery) snatches Alice and leaves Oscar to die. He doesn't die though, and once restored to another freighter, he captures the captain, learns his wife's fate and takes his revenge.
