In this story which begins at West Point and later depicts army scenes during the civil war, the characters of two men are brought into sharp contrast. Red Tracy, the selfish boy who becomes a false lover, a thief, and an officer untrue to his friends and ashamed of his old father, is a fitting foil for MacDonald, the best type of gentleman and soldier.
