- It was not love, but necessity that brought Anna to accept Gersau, the great engineer, and to marry him. Her father's death had brought financial difficulties, and Anna was a young lady of culture who loved to be surrounded by beautiful things. Therefore when the rich and renowned Gersau proposed to her, she promised to become his wife, though it broke the heart of Roland, her chum since childhood. Roland was a promising young engineer and he aroused the jealousy of Gersau by the way he ran after the woman he loved, even when she was a wife. But the friendship between the two was renewed and strengthened when Roland, avoiding all efforts to detain him, dashed into Gersau's burning residence and saved some valuable plans. The house had been set afire through the carelessness of Gersau, who, tortured by jealousy, had left a light under a retort in his laboratory in order to go to watch over his wife. The result was an explosion and soon the whole building was in flames. Roland, who rescued the precious plans, only saved himself from death by jumping from a high window, and sustaining several injuries. A little while after, when Roland recovered somewhat from his injuries, the great docks, Gersau's master work, were opened. But while the engineer was making the opening speech the dam burst. Tons of water dashed over the dock, washing away the fine banquet which had been laid out and overwhelming the people who attended the opening ceremony. Many were able to save themselves by clinging to the banqueting table, but Gersau was swept away by the surging waters and only rescued with great difficulty. This terrible catastrophe drove him mad. His wife's anguish is indescribable, for she had learned to love the quiet, strong husband she had chosen for other reasons than affection. Then they took the demented man away. They put him in an asylum and in agony of mind she visited him there, but he did not recognize her and would have nothing to do with her. There was nothing else for her to do but join in a wild round of pleasure seeking in order to try and forget. After a while of careful attention at the asylum the great engineer showed signs of recovery. Gradually his right senses returned to him, and eventually the medical men pronounced him quite well in mind and body and gave the order for his release. It was on his way back that he saw what sent a thrill of disgust through him; his wife in the gay throng of merry-makers with Roland. The old jealousy returned, and he followed them and watched till he saw Roland pleading his love. He could stand it no longer and he burst in on them and drove the traitor away. Then he left, a prey to mixed emotions. Tearing off her finery Anna followed, pleaded forgiveness and confessed her love, and was forgiven.

- Bretton, furnished with credentials to Balkan officers, obtains a personal letter from the Minister of War, charging his subordinates to give the young newspaper man every assistance. On the train Bretton meets Clark, correspondent of a rival newspaper. While passing through the Customs, Clark catches sight of Bretton's letters of recommendation. Not having any himself, he resolves to steal them. The story jumps to the scene of warfare, where Sonia and her father are tending their sheep. The old man is killed by a stray bullet and is buried by his mourning daughter. The two correspondents proceed on foot to headquarters, and notice from the edge of a precipice a skirmish between the contending forces. In order to more clearly observe the fight, Bretton throws down his knapsack. Approaching too near the edge, he makes a false step and falls. His cries are heard by Sonia, who in going to his rescue risks her life. Clark cuts open his rival's knapsack and steals the coveted papers. Bearing these, he goes to headquarters, where he is warmly received. Bretton recovers from his fall and is somewhat smitten by his rescuer. Found by the soldiers, without credentials, he is arrested as a spy. He escapes from the guard tent and gallops away on a horse, untouched by the sentry's pursuing bullets. The battle is in progress and both correspondents have their stories ready. Clark, tricked by Sonia, is detained in his attempt to reach the telegraph office, and so Bretton's telegram goes through. When Clark finally arrives the wires are congested. Disgruntled, he visits a neighboring theater, but the enemy are within range and a well-directed shell crashes through the building and sends the audience and performers fleeing for their lives. Clark, among others, is rendered unconscious. Bretton, hearing of an impending battle on the sea, journeys there, and by climbing a tree sees the demolition of a majestic war vessel by a hidden mine. Again the correspondents hasten to the telegraph office, and Sonia, aiding Bretton, again foils Clark. Bretton, to obtain a better view of a land conflict, goes aloft in an aeroplane. It is shattered by a shell and falls earthward with a sickening crash. Sonia, who has been captured by the Turks after being wounded, has escaped from a hospital mosque and is wandering around when she sees the aeroplane descend. She saves Bretton from being burned to death. Again Bretton is triumphant in getting his story over the wires ahead of Clark. He asks Sonia to return home with him as his wife. The young people, on the conclusion of hostilities, arrive in Bretton's home town and are congratulated warmly on their work by the newspaper's proprietor. They meet Clark, their former enemy, and all differences are ended in a warm handshake and the declaration that "all is fair in war and love."
