Plot Summary |
Lieut. Grey, C.S.A., is sent to obtain plans of the Federal forts. He meets and is aided by Col. Carter's daughter, Elizabeth, a loyal Confederate. Later he is chased and wounded by a party of guerrillas, headed by the notorious Jim Jason. He seeks refuge in the Carter home, where the guerrillas find him. He shoots Jason, and holds the others at bay, saving the lives of his new-found friends, Elizabeth and her father. Aid finally comes in the form of a troop of Federal soldiers, led by Lieut. Brighton. U.S.A. Grey refuses to escape and is taken prisoner, and later sentenced to be shot as a spy. Before leaving, he confesses his love to Elizabeth and she confesses hers to him. The Col. and Elizabeth intercede with Grant in Grey's favor and succeed in obtaining a reprieve. Elizabeth then goes to President Lincoln for a pardon. That kindly gentleman relents and Grey's life is saved, hut he is forced to remain a prisoner during the remainder of the war. The war finally ends. Grey and Elizabeth are married and they pay a visit to their friend and benefactor, President Lincoln. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis |
