The young lovers have just received the consent of the girl's parents to their marriage, when the Civil War breaks out and General Warren is called back to Washington to resume his military duty. When Gordon announces that he will stand by his native State, Virginia, the General denounces him as a reb; the engagement is broken off, and Gordon goes away in the Confederate Army. Three years later, Gordon's regiment is near the Warren plantation, and Gordon risks his life in several thrilling scenes to visit his sweetheart. The girl at first treats him coldly, hut love triumphs, and the lovers are happy in their reunion. Union troops camp near the Warren plantation, and Union officers make the Warren mansion their headquarters. The girl conceals her lover and later helps him to escape. The Union officers go into the dining room to dinner. Little Grace, the nine-year-old sister of Alice, enters the drawing room with a paper doll and a pair of scissors. She wants a piece of paper to make a dress for the doll and she takes one of the sheets left on the table by the Union officers. Later the officers discover the loss of the paper, and Alice is led to believe that her lover has stolen it. She tells the officers about Gordon's visit, and after a thrilling chase and fight Gordon is captured and brought back into the presence of the girl, who tells of his visit and denounces him as a cowardly spy. The soldiers leave, taking Gordon with them. He is tried and condemned to be hanged as a spy. Meanwhile little Grace enters and shows her mother and sister the paper doll and dress that she has cut out of the missing map. Alice declares she will save her lover. Taking the paper doll, she dashes away on her horse, and we show the most thrilling ride that has ever been done by a woman in motion picture work.
