Após a seção "Birth of the Human Race", o filme teve cenas épicas no Egito Antigo com soldados núbios e o resgate do menino Moisés em um rio. Uma cena posterior retratou Simão de Cirene ajudando Jesus a carregar sua cruz na Via Dolorosa e a assinatura da Declaração de Independência. O filme então mudou para a Primeira Guerra Mundial, com dois irmãos brancos de uma família germano-americana indo para a guerra na Frente Ocidental, um ("George") lutando pelos Estados Unidos e o outro ("Oscar") lutando pela Alemanha . George é ferido e no hospital o defende de um ataque alemão, matando Oscar no processo. George é mandado para casa na América, onde resgata sua esposa de um espião alemão.
