- The fellow townsmen of Russell H. Conwell, an infantry captain of the Union Army during the Civil War, present him with a handsome sword, which becomes an object of special care to Johnny Ring, an earnest, Christian youth who is the captain's orderly. In camp, Conwell, an atheist, refuses to allow the boy to read the Bible; nevertheless, Johnny prays for the captain's conversion. During a surprise attack, Johnny, saving the sword, is wounded and dies. Conwell is promoted to colonel, and later he is wounded and left for dead in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. In the pain and agony of recovery, he vows that if God spares his life he will accomplish the work of two men--for Johnny Ring, and for himself. (The story is said to be based on the true experiences of a Philadelphia minister.)
- A group of college kids on a field trip run afoul of a botanist gone bonkers and his hulking moron of an assistant. Wackiness ensues.
