He finds a rival in Sutton, the brutal foreman of the lumber camp. With the declaration of war, Lee is given a commission in the Federal army. Sutton enlists in the Confederate army. A number of field pieces belonging to the Union forces are held in reserve in a train shed near Dixon's house. Lee defeats a party of Confederates in a skirmish. Sutton, one of the enemy force, subsequently discovers that a daring raid would enable a small body of men to capture the Union cannon. The plan approved by his commanding officer, Sutton is given a force of men. His mission meets with success. In making his rounds, Lee discovers what has occurred. Realizing that the Federal forces, weakened by the loss of the artillery, would be unable to resist a sudden attack, he secures a body of men and hastens to Dixon's train shed for the reserve cannon. Sally sees her sweetheart loading the guns on flatcars. In her desire to be with him, she hides under one of the tarpaulins which cover the weapons. The Confederates attack the Union breastworks and sweep over the weakened defenses. The Federals are about to surrender when the flat cars containing the reserve guns come up. Manned by Lee and his men, the cannon beat the Confederates back. Sally becomes separated from Lee. Sutton makes her a captive and drags her to a deserted shack. Lee follows with his men. Locking the door of the shack Sutton threatens to shoot Sally if his rival attempts to break in. Climbing to the roof, Lee shoots through a hole and gets his man. The door is forced and Sally is rescued. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
