Plot

Leigh Ehlers Telotte wrote in George Washington on Screen, "Michael Curtiz's Sons of Liberty (1939) [stars] Claude Rains as Haym Salomon, an American patriot and a financier of the Revolution. In this 20-minute biopic of Salomon's life, he joins the Sons of Liberty in 1776, acts as a spy for General Washington (Montagu Love), meets Nathan Hale just before his execution, raises funds to support the Revolution, and dies in poverty at age 44."
