Disguising herself as a farmer's daughter Vera starts out to perform her mission. While on her way she meets Ralph Christie, of the Federal Army, who has been sent to learn the strength of Fort Barancas. Although Ralph is disguised as a young farmer, Vera becomes suspicious of him. While traveling together over a short piece of the road Christie protects Vera from an attack of three ruffians, thereby earning her gratitude. As the country seems infested with stragglers from the army, Christie decides to continue with Vera until she has passed out of the danger zone. At an opportune moment Christie learns of Vera's mission, and she discovers his true identity, while Christie plans to use Vera's dispatch as a means to enter Fort Barancas, Vera determines to detain him by a stratagem. Her plan, however, is only temporarily successful, and he arrives at Port Barancas before her. Believing that duty to her country requires exposure of the spy she is about to denounce him, but love proves stronger than duty. In the final scene we find Christie and Vera standing at the gate of Vera's home, having come to a mutual understanding, and Christie as he departs tells the patriotic Southern girl. "After the war is over I will come for you." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
