Set against the backdrop of 1880s England, the narrative explores the intense conflict between William Booth's Salvation Army and the opposing Skeleton Army, which incited violent riots to drive Salvationists from towns. These clashes resulted in significant property damage, injuries, and even fatalities, while the peaceful Salvationists often faced imprisonment instead of their aggressors. The historical account sheds light on the tumultuous social dynamics of the era and the challenges faced by the evangelical movement.
