Warrenton, of the staff of Lord Cornwallis, and Col. Gordon, of the Continental troops. Gordon captures Warrenton in Betty's house, but thinking Warrenton is favored by Betty lets him escape. Betty's love for Gordon is enhanced by this action and she marries him and accompanies him throughout the war. Just before the Battle of Yorktown, Gordon is sent by General Washington into the British lines with false dispatches. He is to allow himself to be captured so as to lead the British astray. Gordon and his wife, arriving at the tavern, are attacked by Capt. Warrenton and a party of Hessians. Gordon is injured, but leaving the dispatches where they fall in British hands, he escapes. He is being nursed back to health by Betty in a house from which the Battle of Yorktown can be viewed. Capt. Warrenton is separated from his detachment when the British receive a smashing defeat. In his aimless wandering he arrives at the old mansion where Gordon is convalescing and attacks him. Betty in defending her liege lord kills Warrenton. A beautiful historical picture is presented when Cornwallis is seen surrendering to Washington. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
