| − | The tract tells of Harold Jordan, a wounded veteran (who, two weeks before his tour of duty was to end, was ambushed with his platoon, and lost an eye and a leg as a result) now homeless. He is discovered by Rudy, a young boy (to the consternation of his mother and aunt) who had just finished a Bible study with his Uncle Fred where they learned about Luke 14:13-14 <ref>"Jesus said, 'when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed" (KJV; all Chick tracts use KJV exclusively as Chick was a KJV-Only follower.</ref>. Rudy tells Uncle Fred, who decides to invite Harold to Sunday dinner. | + | The tract tells of Harold Jordan, a wounded veteran (who, two weeks before his tour of duty was to end, was ambushed with his platoon, and lost an eye and a leg as a result) now homeless.

| | The day before the dinner Fred learns of Harold's story: beyond the physical injuries his records were mixed up with someone else's (later identified as "Hal Jordon Jr."), and his family is told he died in combat. As a result, he wishes he had died with his platoon. Fred then tells Harold of his own military history: as a Marine he routinely got into fights, and later fought in the Korean War as one of the "Chosin Few" where he was wounded, but was saved through the prayers of a nurse. Fred leads Harold to salvation; a subsequent scene shows Harold's daughter praying for a new daddy. | | The day before the dinner Fred learns of Harold's story: beyond the physical injuries his records were mixed up with someone else's (later identified as "Hal Jordon Jr."), and his family is told he died in combat.
