The film concerns the American Revolutionary War encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and a planned escape by the men desperate to leave behind the terrible conditions of the winter.
To condense the plot, the seventy-five-minute production entirely omits the play's principal female character, Mary Philipse.
Shot partly on location in Canada.
