Phoebe, however, has given her heart to Burke Richmond, General Lafayette's aide, and in defiance of her father, accepts his attentions while she rejects those of Haas. The wily Haas, known to all as a merchant, is really a spy in the employ of the English King. Burke Richmond is commissioned to carry important messages from Washington, at his headquarters, to Lafayette. While Burke stops on his return to speak to Phoebe, Haas secures the envelope containing the important message and substitutes another in its place. Upon opening the envelope, the contents cause Lafayette to suspect Burke of being a traitor. He is arrested, tried and sentenced to be shot. Phoebe, however, maintains her belief in Burke's innocence. Her loyalty to him compels her to defy her father and leave his house. She goes to Lafayette to plead for Burke. While awaiting him at his headquarters, Haas enters, and under pretense of taking her to see the prisoner, leads her to his own home. His ugly advances cause her to lock herself in his bedroom. Here Haas leaves her while he hurries to call Friend Wilson. Lafayette, meanwhile, has become suspicious of Haas and so goes forth to search his house. He releases Phoebe from the room and a search of the house reveals sufficient evidence to support his suspicions. On his return home with Friend Wilson, Haas is confronted with the damaging evidence and arrested. Burke Richmond is liberated, returned to rank in the army, and once more united with Phoebe, firm, true, loving unto the end. In face of such circumstances, what else can Friend Wilson do but see the error of his ways and agree to the union of the young people? Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
