One day revenue officers discover some jugs of whiskey. They watch them and later follow Jim, who has brought more jugs to the hiding-place. They trail him to the cave, where the distillery is located, and in trying to force an entrance John Page is killed, the boy escaping through an underground passageway. He wanders for some little distance and finally lies down to sleep beside a stream, to be awakened by Betty Adair's cry for help. Jim plunges into the water and rescues the girl just as her brother Bob comes up. Together they carry her to their grandfather's house, with whom they live. The grandfather has just bade Jeff Davis goodbye. He had come just previous to the children's departure for the fishing expedition and Betty, with true Southern hospitality, had given him a drink of water and invited him to come in the house. She had asked him to write in her autograph album, which he does. Later we find Jim and Betty betrothed. The war is declared and both boys enlist in the Southern army. One night while on picket duty Bob falls asleep and is discovered by a sentinel, who reports him to the office. Jim, always looking out for Bob, has seen the whole action and makes Bob go to his place in camp while he assumed Bob's duty. Jim is arrested and sentenced to death. Bob writes the news home and Betty, donning a Confederate uniform and forging Davis's name to a pardon, rides into camp. It happens that Davis is in the camp and the officer takes Betty to him; she recalls the incident of the album and pleads with him to save her lover. He informs the officer that the pardon is genuine, and Davis takes Betty to her sweetheart, who is now restored to his former rank. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
