The melodrama stars and starring Gretchen Lederer, Emory Johnson and Frank Whitson. August and Hilda are living together while saving money to get married. In their country, it did not discourage living arrangements like theirs. Since securing a living wage was getting difficult, they decide to immigrate to America. Once they arrive, American values challenged them by asserting only wed couples can live together and have children. They both seek employment to support their ambitions. Hilda secures a position as a domestic while August has trouble finding work. A desperate August goes to sea and dies in a shipwreck. Once a pregnant Hilda learns the fate of August, she is distraught and suicidal. She gathers herself and gives birth to a baby boy. Realizing she cannot support the child, she arranges for her earlier employers to find the child. They decide to raise the boy as their own. She secretly watches the boy grow up and seek a career in politics. In the end, she makes the ultimate sacrifice for her son. Universal released the Red Feather Photoplay on December 11, 1916.
