The first title on the screen is 'The Franco British offensive' followed by two clench fists with France and Britain written on the arms. The fists punch a caricature of the Kaiser. Second title is "and the final result' which shows a German and Austrian caricatures pleading for peace. 'The Eastern Theatre of war' is the next title which is followed by the title 'Austria's plight' then a caricature of the Austrian emperor who says "Things are looking very black here Wilhelm' and is then punched by Russia.
