Internationally popular Japanese leading man Sessue Hayakawa was showcased in a dual role in Bonds of Honor. The star plays Yamashito and Sasamoto, twin sons of a high-ranking Japanese nobleman. While Yamashito works side by side with his diplomat father, Sasamoto wastes his life in Tokyo gambling dens and geisha houses. Flat broke, Sasamoto is forced to enter into an unholy alliance with German spy Berkowitz (Herschell Mayall), who hopes to secure Japan's cooperation in the upcoming World War. Ordered to steal valuable war plans from his father's safe, Sasamoto is caught in the act, leaving him no choice but to "honorably" commit suicide. Refusing this option, Sasamoto escapes to Russia, whereupon Yamashito sorrowfully dedicates himself to bringing Sasamoto to justice. Complicating matters is the fact that both brothers are in love with the same woman (played by Hayakawa's real-life wife Tsuri Aoki.
