When the Mexican war breaks out both Pedro and Carlos are called to the front, Pedro being a Federal and Carlos a rebel. Pepita's father is general of the Federal army. While Carlos is on his way with important dispatches to General Villa, he is chased by the Federal army. Escaping them, he finds shelter in Pepita's home. The Federals, suspecting his hiding place, come and search the house. Unable to find him, they return to their camp. Pedro, suspecting Pepita of hiding Carlos, resolves on a ruse to learn the truth. Disguising a Federal as a Rebel by dressing him in one of the Rebel prisoner's clothes, they send him to Pepita's home, pretending to seek shelter from the enemy. Pepita and Carlos take him in. While they are out of the room he goes to the window and gives a signal to the Federals, who rush to the house. Hearing the Federals, Carlos makes his escape, leaving the dispatches in his haste with Pepita, who realizes that the dispatches mean death to her father. She rushes to his camp to warn him of his danger. Her father thinks she is a Rebel spy until after she has explained her errand. He has difficulty in convincing his officers that she is not a spy. Carlo, fearing for Pepita's safety, comes to her rescue and takes her safely over the American border. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
