While he is away, his farm is taken over by a group of German spies who are plotting to sabotage the American war effort.

When Kurt returns home, he becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the spies, risking his life to protect his country and his farm.

Will Kurt get successful to protect his farm and country?
