The story follows Jimmie Higgins, a factory worker and socialist propagandist, as he navigates the complexities of labor issues, family life, and his commitment to the socialist movement during a time of global conflict. The narrative delves into themes of social justice, class struggle, and the implications of war on the working class. The opening of the book introduces Jimmie Higgins as he prepares for a political event while dealing with the challenges of family life, including managing three young children. His wife, Lizzie, longs for a simple outing, contrasting sharply with Jimmie’s enthusiasm for socialist activism and the impending speech of a socialist candidate. As the day unfolds, Jimmie is heavily involved in setting up for the candidate’s meeting at the Opera-house, showcasing his dedication to the cause. The interactions between Jimmie and his wife reveal the strain that his activism places on their relationship, while the anticipation and excitement surrounding the candidate's presence highlight the urgency of their political struggles against the backdrop of looming war. The meticulous details of Jimmie's preparations set the stage for the broader social and political issues that will be explored throughout the novel.
