When pacifists allow the U.S. to sink into unpreparedness, an invading European force lands and conquers the country, installing an emperor. The nation's only hope lies in an underground partisan army of women, The Loyal Legion of American Women. —Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net>

Taglines
- Rev. T.B. Gregory said: "I don't believe the American lives who could see this wonderful film without feeling that unpreparedness is a CRIME. If I were a rich man i would make Thos. Dixon a present of a million dollars just for the one scene in which the Hon. Plato Barker meets the brutal invaders of our country with pink tea words of love and peace- and is set to peeling potatoes for his idiocy. the great audience recognizing in the Hon. Barker a likeness of WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, came pretty near lifting the roof off the building." (Print Ad- Newburgh Journal, ((Newburgh NY)) 2 December 1916)

No copies exist. It is a lost film. Why would the site even make it possible to "rate" a movie NO ONE has seen? Destroys the credibility of literally anything in my opinion.
