The Civil War is at its height, and 16-year-old Bob is anxious to join the Southern forces, but because of his youth and ill health, Joy has prevented him. Unknown to Joy, Bob steals away, and joins a band of guerrillas under the command of Webb. Joy accidentally runs into Lieutenant John Gladstone of the Union force and helps him bandage his slightly-wounded arm. assists him in bandaging his slightly-wounded arm. In time, Bob becomes a successful scout for the guerrillas, and Gladstone receives an order to go on a special mission to capture the "boy spy." He learns the locality of the boy's home and establishes a camp. Again he encounters Joy, and rescues her from insult at the hands of one of his men, but he does not guess that she is the sister of the boy he is trying to capture. Joy learns Gladstone's mission. She warns Bob of his danger, but does not tell him of the presence of the soldiers, Gladstone, seeing Joy often, finds that he has fallen in love with her. She in turn confesses her love for him. Joy has steadfastly refused to allow Gladstone to accompany her home, always disappearing from him like a sprite when she leaves him. Finally, however, Gladstone tracks her to the cabin. That night Bob arrives, sent by Webb to find the camp of the Union soldiers. He meets her near the cabin and shows her a false mustache he has made, so that no one will suspect him of being the "boy spy." Gladstone, coming to the cabin, sees Joy pleading with Bob to go, and mistakes it for a love scene. Too honorable to watch them through the window, he raps at the door. Frantically Joy forces Bob into an inner room, and opens the door. Gladstone demands that she tell him whom she is concealing. She denies that there is anyone there, but Gladstone opens the door, and discloses Bob. To save her brother from capture, Joy tells the lieutenant that the man is her lover. He turns without a word and leaves the cabin. But now Bob knows that the Union soldiers are near, and he determines to find them. Joy rushes from the cabin, trying to warn her lover. Joy overtakes the lieutenant, but Gladstone refuses to listen to her. As she is pleading with him, they hear shots. Gladstone rushes off toward the sound of firing, and finds the "man" from the cabin, shot by his men and dying. Joy follows him. As she bends over Bob, he raises himself weakly, pulling off the disguise. Then Gladstone understands. He has found the boy spy. The next morning Gladstone prepares to return to his duty. He is leaving Joy alone in the mountains. Then comes the news; Lee has surrendered at Appomattox. With the reunion of the nation, a life of happiness opens before Joy and Gladstone.
