Plot Summary
Nora Clitheroe (Barbara Stanwyck) runs a rooming house in Dublin
and tries to stay away from the political turmoil raging around her,
so she becomes quite upset when she learns that her husband Jack (Preston S. Foster)
has joined a militia of Irish rebels trying to drive out the British.
Nora fears for Jack's safety and begs him to keep his distance from the revolutionary forces.
Jack assures her that he'll step back from their activities,
but it's not until it's too late that Nora learns that Jack has done just the opposite --
and has become a commander with the Irish Citizen Army
as they plan an ill-fated raid on the Dublin Post Office.
