A down-on-his-luck soldier (Rockwell) returns home from the war to find his life devastated by a bad real estate deal. He is lured by the Communist Party to help establish the more idyllic society he always envisioned but quickly realizes the error in his logic. McCarthyism was still in its initial stages at the time of this early Red Scare film, which features such heavy-handed devices as a cautionary introduction by Los Angeles City Councilman Lloyd G. Davies.
