The above was accomplished by this man after years of strife, by following the commandments given by God to man, and weeding out iniquities, falseness and double dealings. Like our Savior, he surrounded himself for the most part by loyal workers of the cause; that cause was moral mental and physical cleanliness, and at the beginning of the story we find the "Man" on the battlefield, working beside his men, enduring the many iconoclastic features that war entails From camp to camp his men bow in deference to his superior presence and intellect. What they feel most is his inherent goodness and the discipline that this same quality brings forth the same being evident by the manner in which his small band fight against tremendous odds. The time comes, however, when the "Man" finds that he is compelled to leave his mother country for the purpose of importing arms and ammunition that the terrible war for right may go on. He visits his general commanding, finds him wounded unto death, and with his blessings and prayer, leaves him and goes to the United States. We find him crossing the international border, looking back upon the beautiful land of his forefathers, torn and misshapen. Turning he faces bravely to his adventure, and while en route he meets with the daughter of the Powder King, who leads him to her father. Negotiations are entered and consummated for sufficient arms and ammunition to complete his conquest of Mexico. Prior to his return to his native land, he saves the son of a widow, Hiram, and his sister, Rose, from an untimely end. Later the sister, sensing the "Man," gives him her heart, but, bowing to the call of duty, he leaves. A note which he left for his sweetheart (the future Mrs. President of Mexico) reads simply: "When I am worthy I will come for you. Until such time, I remain the 'Man ' " Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
