Cal's only brother is captain of the Virginia. Before Cal and his sweetheart can be married the war breaks out between the north and the south. Cal has commission to secure plans of the Yankee fortification. Cal arrives at his destination in a load of hay, and is discovered and made prisoner. Later he makes his escape and boards the Congress. Betty Vance's brother gets seriously wounded. Because the crew of the Merrimac is not large, Betty steals her brother's clothing, disguises herself as a boy, and joins the Merrimac crew. During the engagement between the Monitor and the Merrimac, Cal Buchanan again meets his sweetheart, a supposed sailor boy. After the battle, the old saying that "only the brave deserve the fair" is proven true, for Carl and Betty again plan for their wedding. Written by Moving Picture World, August 4, 1917 See less
