The main theme of London's book was the rise of a mass Socialist movement in the United States, with the potential to take power and implement a radical Socialist program, and its suppression by a well-organized coup of conservative "Oligarchs". This had direct relevance to the situation in Russia at the time when the film was made, when the Russian Civil War was still raging and the newly created Soviet regime, born of the October Revolution, was still threatened by the counter-revolutionary White armies.
