Half-reel made for the Liberty Loan Committee and distributed free throughout the country. The actors show that bonds of friendship, love and marriage are inspiring but the most important bonds of all are Liberty Bonds, the blockbuster which will knock out the Kaiser.

If 'The Great Dictator' was Chaplin's reaction to Hitler in the Second World War, then 'Shoulder Arms' and 'The Bond' was his reaction in the Great War. A significant film, although very dull to watch, but what Chaplin did was bring the excitement of the serial novel onto the big screen in an episodic film format.
