Somewhere in Somewhere Synopsis

An Irishman and a Boston chap are buddies in a forward trench on the battlefields of France. Toots is unskilled in the ways of a warrior and thinks the gas alert is a call to dinner. Later when a piece of Limber cheese is brought into the trench he rings the alarm for the men to don their gas masks. The captain sends the two boys "over the top" to establish a line of communication with the trench. Toots proves a great handicap to the more skillful O'Brien, but after several narrow escapes, including victories in races with shells, they succeed and are hailed as heroes.

Unknown to the old man, the girl and his son Jack were formerly sweethearts, but had quarreled because of her refusal to leave the stage. Knowing of Adam's love for Nell, Mason, the leading man, and Eppstein, the manager, induce him to finance the show. This is on its last legs.
