The sweetheart receives a note from the girl to the effect that General Rahl will entertain her father at the Hessian headquarters on Christmas night. The young officer calls to see the girl while on a reconnoitering expedition and finds one of the Hessian officers at her home. The Hessian attempts to capture the American scout, but is wounded in a desperate hand to hand encounter, after which the officer hastens to give the signal to General Washington, which brings the army to Trenton. Washington and his soldiers defeat the Hessians and capture the entire force. The capture of the officers while at their feast forms a dramatic climax to this interesting picture. The girl's father is among them, but through her sweetheart, the young scout, she successfully pleads for his freedom which Washington grants. The old Tory is so grateful that he withdraws his opposition to the young scout's suit for his daughter's hand and they receive his paternal blessing.
