Her father learns that Capt. Willis, of the Northern forces, has some valuable papers, and, knowing that Norma has already made the captain's acquaintance, he details her to get possession of them. This is something that the girl almost rebels against, for she knows that Willis loves her and she returns his love. But duty first was the slogan of the South, so she dresses as a boy and starts out after Willis. She finds where he has put up his tent for the night and, entering, she steals the papers from under his pillow, placing an envelope of blank paper in their place. Willis half awakens and fires after what he thinks a retreating figure, but finding what he supposes to be the plans, he falls asleep again. The girl receives the shot in the arm and staggers home. Willis rides to the outlying camp and delivers the blanks. He is held as a traitor, for his acquaintance with Norma is well known. The girl, still weak, hears that Willis is to he shot next morning at sunrise. She starts off on horseback to the camp of the Northern general. To him she tells the story of the stolen plans and exonerates Willis to his satisfaction. He will send a reprieve, but it is doubtful if it will arrive in time. She offers to take it herself, and starts out on a wild ride to the outlying camp. She arrives just in time to prevent the execution. With loving care she regains her health and after the war Willis comes South again to claim the former spy as his bride. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
