Description:
Irish nationalists in Chicago join a secret group dedicated to driving the English out of Ireland. A schism develops over whether or not dynamite is a justifiable persuasion technique, and over the character of the leader of the pro-dynamite faction. After causing difficulties for the pro-dynamite faction, a prominent member of the anti-dynamite faction is murdered. The wheels of justice commence their slow grind.
