1942年，生活在斯德哥尔摩的瑞典籍美国石油商人埃里克•埃里克森突然发现自己上了美国的纳粹合作者黑名单，急于辨白。而这一切是盟军情报机关的安排，意在逼迫埃里克成为间谍，因为他可以方便地进出德国。无奈的埃里克只得就范，他开始公开表现亲近纳粹，甚至不惜伤害最亲密的犹太人朋友坎普尔。朋友和亲人们都疏远了他，但只有坎普尔暗中相信埃里克这样做必有难言的原因。
　　很快，埃里克就和德国人拉上了关系，并将德国石油业巨头格哈德•奥伦道夫爵士、石油商人奥托•豪兹拉下水，组成一个间谍小组，他的代号为“莱德”。
　　同时，埃里克与笃信宗教的德国地下抵抗组织成员玛丽亚娜取得联络，乔装成情人幽会，骗过监视的盖世太保，不断将她提供的情报记忆下来后带回瑞典。埃里克与玛丽亚娜为了事业均是家庭不幸，两个人倾心相恋。埃里克虽是谍海新兵，但他沉着坚毅，多次避过危险。
　　在奥伦道夫的努力下，埃里克获准在瑞典为德国“建设”炼油厂，于是得到了参观德国石油工厂的机会，一次，埃里克与奥伦道夫目睹纳粹绞死罢工工人的场面，被深深触动，开始由被迫工作转向自觉行动。他们的情报使盟军得以准确轰炸，令德国损失惨重。
　　一段时间后，奥托因病去世，由于密信可能泄露，盟军情报机关决定停止埃里克小组的活动。但埃里克惦念玛丽亚娜，同时也为了取回至关重要的纳粹航空燃料生产情报，他毅然再次前往德国。埃里克一到柏林就被关进盖世太保监狱，并亲眼看到因身份暴露被捕的玛丽亚娜殉难。但他强忍悲痛，咬定自己只是玛丽亚娜的情人，盖世太保没有证据只好放人。
　　埃里克从格哈德处拿到情报，又前往汉堡销毁奥托的密信，不料被跟随的盖世太保察觉。埃里克机智逃脱，并与汉堡的盟国谍报网取得联系，在地下组织和丹麦百姓的帮助下，埃里克越过边境，经哥本哈根渡过海峡，安全返回瑞典。

　　After the relatively low box office takings of 'Intolerance', D. W. Griffith would revisit his epic film three years later by releasing two of the film's interlocking stories as standalone features, with some new additional footage. The first of the two was 'The Fall of Babylon', which depicts the conflict between Prince Belshazzar of Babylon and Cyrus the Great of Persia.

　　While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
　　Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
　　Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
　　After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
　　Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
　　Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
　　Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
　　After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
