- Betty returns the kindness of a Union officer by helping him escape from the Confederates. Her brother forces her to become a spy in order to atone for helping the North. She is captured, but her officer helps her gain mercy.
- Alone in her home since her father and brothers departed to fight for the Confederacy, Betty Dale, a daughter of the Southland, is alarmed to see a squad of Union cavalrymen. Frightened, she watches them leading out the horses from the stable, but fright disappears when she sees her own mare being taken. Rushing out she faces the commander. "Don't you dare take my horse!" she commands. The officer smiles, salutes her and bids his men lead the mare back. A week later Betty's oldest brother, a Confederate officer, comes home. Betty sees the officer who saved her horse and is seeking shelter in the barn as he has been wounded. She slips out and presents her horse to the wounded man. He mounts and escapes from a detachment of Confederates. Betty's brother accuses his sister of treason. He orders her to atone by enlisting in the Confederate service as a spy. It is near the end of the war before Betty encounters her hero again. She has enlisted in the Union service as a nurse to further her work as a spy. One day her Union officer is brought into the hospital and placed in Betty's ward. Betty is detected in an attempt to send information to the Confederate commander, and accused as a spy. Her Union hero, who has heard the accusation, demands to see the commandant. Remembering Betty's kindness in giving him her horse, the officer tells the commandant he knows her well as a devoted servant of the Union. Betty is freed and rewards her cavalier by lending a willing ear to his declaration of love.—Moving Picture World synopsis
