The opening scenes are designed to represent the Commonwealth Defence Offices, where the Minister in busily engaged dealing with dispatches from the Imperial Government. There is in the employ of the department, in a responsible position, an Australian born of German parents.

In the spy's house a wireless plant is concealed in an attic. Messages are being received from Berlin, and information dispatched there concerning the movements of the Australian transports. The German spy, however, has an adopted daughter, in love with the War Minister's son, who is about to go to the front. She discovers her father's treachery, and in forms the authorities, who quickly deal with the situation. Throughout the picture the military element is introduced. Soldiers are seen drilling in Melbourne; on board the transports en route to Egypt, and finally storming the heights of Gallipoli.

Shells are seen bursting in the water, throwing spray into the air, land mines are exploded, soldiers fall as they rush across the sandy strip and up the rugged cliffs.
