Through the Fray is an adventure story of riots by English textile workers in the 19th century. The Luddite movement began when high food prices, caused by shortage during the war, and the start of the industrial age drove the working-classes to desperation. They banded together in a wide-spread organization known as the Luddite Society, perhaps named for Ned Ludd, and began destroying textile machinery and factories. Ned Sankey's family owned such a factory, and it became necessary for him to defend it against the Luddites. When his stepfather is killed, he is arrested and put on trial for his life.
