Hayes, the gunner, while fighting at the battle of Monmouth, is wounded and his wife takes his place. After the battle the Continentals capture a foraging Hessian. Molly suggests a plan to learn the enemy's strength for General Washington. One of the Continentals is dressed in the uniform of the Hessian and he starts off for the enemy's camp. Before he can reach there, however, the Hessian manages to escape and reaches camp before the Continental, who is promptly arrested on his arrival. Molly, who has followed after the fleeing Hessian, sees her husband's capture, and following at a distance penetrates the enemy's camp. Later on Molly aids him to escape and as a climax to an exciting day the Continentals cover Molly and her husband's retreat and capture the pursuing Hessians.
