Saunders, a veteran of the Civil War, cherishes a sword presented to him for gallantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. John Boyd, a young married man and a friend of the veteran, is accused of theft and placed in prison. Col. Saunders and Mrs. Boyd appeal in vain to Boyd's employer to obtain the young man's release. The employer consents on condition that Col. Saunders give him his Gettysburg sword which he has long coveted. The veteran makes the sacrifice but incurs the displeasure of his old commandery comrades who believe, because of his silence, that he has disposed of the weapon for money. Boyd's innocence is proved and his young wife explains his act to the veterans. Soon after Col. Saunders regains his sword and his comrades celebrate the event in the old colonel's home.
