In the midst of the merrymaking Blake is ordered to the front, so a hasty wedding is performed and Blake departs for the war. In his first engagement, Blake behaves like a hero and saves the colors from his enemy. He is left for dead on the battlefield. When he regains consciousness he gives his coat to one of his comrades and picks up a canteen on which the name of John Stokes is printed. He then drags himself to a sentry outpost. After a six weeks' struggle between life and death in the hospital, he at length emerges sound in body, but with his memory blank. The name of John Stokes seems to him to be the most plausible clue to his own identity and he re-enlists under that name. Blake has been reported missing. To Jane, the first sorrow of her love is gradually softened by time. Two years, later the war is over. Crane who was at Blake's wedding is an ardent suitor for her hand. She at last consents and journeys out to the army post of which Crane is in command. Blake is also there hearing the name of John Stokes and Crane sees and recognizes him, and succeeds in clearing Blake's muddled brain by bringing up old recollections. Thus the long separated husband and wife are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
