As the war breaks out, several men are called into naval battle and forced into a struggle between their civic and familial responsibilities. Though they start out as friends, Lieutenant Kenneth Reynolds (James Dunn) and his pal Raymond Jordan (David Manners) soon find themselves on opposite sides of the battleground as Jordan decides to stand behind the Confederate cause. Meanwhile, the romantic relationship that has been building between Reynolds and Jordan's sister Constance (Mae Clarke) is threatened by the growing tension between the two men. In a similar twist of fate, the war also places senior naval officers Commander Jordan (Henry B. Walthill) and Captain Buchanan (Fritz Leiber) against each other. Though fictional, HEARTS IN BONDAGE explores the destructive force of war and the extremes that patriotism can lead people to. [More]
