Thomas H. Ince (November 16, 1882 – November 19, 1924) was an American silent film producer, director, screenwriter, and actor. He revolutionized the motion picture industry by creating the first major Hollywood studio facility and invented many mechanisms of professional movie production by introducing the "assembly line" system of filmmaking after being the first mogul to build his own film studio, dubbed "Inceville," in Palisades Highlands. He was also instrumental in developing the role of the producer in motion pictures. Known as the "Father of the Western" he was responsible for making over 800 films. Two of them: The Italian (1915), for which he wrote the screenplay, and Civilization (1916), which he directed, were selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. He partnered with D.W. Griffith and Mack Sennett to form the famous Triangle Motion Picture Company whose studios are the present-day site of Sony Pictures. He then built his own studio, the present-day site of Culver Studios. Ince is also famous for his mysterious and untimely death, allegedly aboard the private yacht of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, just as he was about to join forces with Hearst’s International Film Corporation.

The film opens with the outbreak of a war in the previously peaceful kingdom of Wredpryd. Count Ferdinand is the inventor of a new submarine who is assigned to command the new ship in battle. The King of Wredpryd orders the Count to sink the "ProPatria" ("for my country"), a civilian ship that is believed to be carrying munitions as well as civilian passengers. In his mind's eye, the Count sees a vision of what would happen if he sent a torpedo crashing into the liner, and he recoils. He refuses to follow his orders, saying he is "obeying orders -- from a Higher Power." Realizing his crew will carry out the orders, the Count fights with the crew and blows up his submarine, sending it to the bottom of the sea.

A small town's drama group is preparing for a Pocahontas-type play, when one of the member's English relatives suddenly arrives for a visit. This man, unlike the theater group, does not have any sense of humor, which sparks the relative and his friends to play practical jokes on him. They dress up as Indians to scare them, but the Englishman is so convinced, that he grabs his gun to shoot at them. At another moment, they try to get revenge by pretending to attack him, but the plan again backfires when the Englishman uses a prop gun from a heroine to horrify them.
