In early 1900s America, rail worker Huey takes his union work with the early American Railway Union to another level by traveling to Germany and Russia, helping oppressed people. Huey encounters forces that would lead Europe into a world war. His actions defuse some of those causes. Militarism in Germany, lack of justice in Russia, banking interests in France and England, and the imperialism in Asia. Returning to America, he is torn between using either nonviolent or violent tactics. Huey finds conflict resolution and brings the AFL together with the Wobblies. Then he turns the Supreme Court away from aiding Wall Street. In the process, Huey helps Eugene Debs become President in 1908.
