The complete and minute adventures of .the three soldiers who returned to London town and found they were listed as “dead” are told with all their original pathos, humour and drama. The merry chase they lead detectives on one and then another of the three steps on the toes of the law, is told with all the -colour ’ and dash of the play, heightened by the greater latitude of treatment permitted by the motion picture camera.
