Joe Britt, a poor Georgia farmer is caught in the draft net, and reports for service under General Lee. His motherless daughter, Jane , does a man's work in the fields a life of drudgery under the strong arm of her foster mother who is a Yankee and is not in sympathy with the Confederate spirit of patriotism. Unable to endure this life, Jane disguises herself as a boy and sets out for the front to find her father's regiment. On the way she encounters a Northern spy who shares his food with her. Arriving at the front, Jane enlists and is detailed for night picket duty. She is caught sleeping at her post and is sentenced to be shot, but escapes and again meets the Northern spy who entrusts her with an important message to the Northern general. She captured by the Northerners, and later escapes, making her way to the Confederate camp. With the information which she brings, the Confederates turn the table on the Yankees and win a decisive victory. Jane discards her male attire and remains in the Confederate camp as a field nurse. Gregg, the Yankee spy, is seriously wounded and made a prisoner of war. Jane nurses him back to health and promises to wed him after the war is over.—Bruce R Bardarik
