In the Philippines; or, by the Campfire's Flicker (1911)
Young artist Madge is in love with a military officer. Suddenly he is called away to the Philippines, where he is shot. He lies upon the battlefield half-dead, but he has enough strength left to crawl to a nearby stream. He is found there by Spanish girl Anita, who is also very much in love with him. She notifies the ambulance corps, who carry him to the hospital tent, where Anita nurses him. Madge, who has now become a Red Cross nurse, goes to the Philippines, and Fate stations her at the very hospital where her affianced is convalescing. There is hatred between the two girls, as each claims that he belongs to her. So Madge leaves a note in Anita's hands, with instructions to give it to him, saying that she has gone to another part of the island, and trusts that he will be happy with his new-found love. Anita does not deliver the message, and in a jealous rage, leads the Filipinos to Maxwell's camp, where he is attacked. Anita is killed in the midst of a battle, having thrown herself on Maxwell's neck, thereby being killed by the bullet which was meant for him. After the battle Maxwell is sitting alone in front of his camp, thinking of Madge, when Madge, who has heard from him before, appears in her Red Cross uniform. A happy reconciliation is the result.
