Synopsis

Anna Q. Nilsson plays Agnes Lane, a daring Southern girl. Lane delivers a message to Confederate Brigadier-General Morton, then discovers that the Union Army is offering $500 for her capture. She goes to the Union camp and declares her willingness to “betray Agnes Lane.” At the last minute she is recognized and confined to a tent under guard. She removes her dress, revealing a Union uniform, which allows her to escape. However, the Confederate troops are unable to breach the Union stronghold. To inspire the soldiers, Agnes delivers herself to the Union army and sends back a letter stating that she will be shot if the Confederates don’t take the building. This is just the inspiration they need; the soldiers stream over the barricades and rescue her.
