The Commanding Officer

"A Thrilling Film Version of the Play that Stirred Two Continents."

When Colonel Archer, the commanding officer of the military post, refuses to lend money to his second-in-command, Captain Waring, Waring obtains the money from Brent Lindsay, from the nearby mining town, in exchange for his promissory note.
