Summary: When an innocent man is publicly executed for being a spy, the commander of a zeppelin turns against the Kaiser and pledges his allegiance to a revolutionary party. His fiancee is a recruiter for the party and helps spread the party throughout the country. On a mission to bomb a British town, the commander refuses to attack and asks his crew to join him in his crusade for peace. When the crew continues to prepare for the bombing raid, the commander blows up the zeppelin in mid-air, killing himself and his crew, rather than kill civilians.
