A Salvation Army meeting in San Francisco features Cadet Augie Stith recounting her assignment to Butte to lead a War Cries drive. She describes selling about 200 War Cries on her first day and the contrast between San Francisco and Butte. The brigade leader frames the tale as part of public confession and growth.
A chaotic dime novel style scene unfolds with Cadet Annie Smith and Montana Bill, once a famed bootlegger, as Salvation Army officers in a dramatic courtship at a revival. The brigadier and crowd react as Annie displays resolve while Bill wrestles with past deeds and protection for the vulnerable. The tale blends gambling, exploitation, and redemption in a quirky stage performance.
