Her superior is the Bolshevik Boris Blotchi Richardson, who has a wild dream of planting the scarlet seed of terrorism in American soil. Sofia and Boris turn their attention to the Weston shipyards that are managed by Johns childhood sweetheart. The workers have valid grievances, but the Bolsheviks set out to manipulate the situation. They are the dangerous element following in the wake of labor as riffraff and ghouls follow an army.
