Virginia and Georgiana, in charge of his old majordomo, Uncle Wash, and starts for the front. A year later he is killed in action and his body brought home and buried in the little family burying ground. The action of the war sweeps southward, and Virginia and her young sister find themselves deserted by all their slaves and servants except faithful old Wash. A foraging party of Union soldiers, very much the worse for liquor, appear and demand entrance, Uncle Wash bravely resists them, but they brutally overpower him, and using him as a battering ram, burst in the door. Then ensues a scene of looting in which the soldiers appropriate everything of value. One of them starts to seize Virginia, and poor old Wash in trying to rescue his mistress is roughly thrown to the floor, but Georgiana, seeing Virginia's peril, shoots down her assailant. This enrages his comrades and they start for the girls, when they are interrupted by the entrance of Captain Percy and a squad of Union soldiers. Percy clears out the house and placing two guards at the door, assures Virginia that she will not be molested further. As he is about to leave he faints, the exertion having opened an old wound. Virginia has him put to bed and nurses him during a serious illness. Percy falls desperately in love with his lovely nurse, but she remains true to her colors and will not notice a mere "Yank." Virginia and her sister are busily engaged mending a Confederate flag, which was torn by the foraging party, when Georgiana drops the needle. Captain Percy enters the room and seeing them searching for the lost needle, offers his assistance, which is hastily declined. Percy is finally obliged to return to his regiment. Before leaving he declares his love to Virginia. To Uncle Wash, however, he manages to give money to care for her, and also a farewell note in which he promises to return for her after the war. When the war is over, true to his promise, Captain Percy does return, and this time he has little trouble in making her surrender to a "Yank." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
