A World War I soldier wakes up in a hospital bed and slowly realizes he's lost all but his torso and part of his head from the blast of an exploding artillery shell. He spends his days remembering his previous life and trying to communicate through Morse code with a sympathetic nurse. Notwithstanding the fantastical daydreams, the bulk of the film is tedious and fairly dated.
