The Little Spy (1911)
The Civil War is in progress. General Foshay is in charge of the Confederate forces. His wife and family are anxiously awaiting news from him, when their home is surrounded by a company of Union soldiers, who force the family to entertain them. The choicest of the larder is brought forth for their enjoyment. They partake plentifully of liquid refreshments, and feeling in fine fettle, discuss matters pertaining to a contemplated attack on General Foshay and his regiment. Little Jack Foshay, the general's son, has been awaiting his opportunity, and unperceived, crawls underneath the table around which the Federal Officers are sitting. He overhears all that is said and escapes from the room without being seen. Making his way hurriedly across the lawn, he is on his way to his father's camp, when he is detected by the officers, and at once they become suspicious. They notify their soldiers and soon they are in pursuit of "The Little Spy," who, after making his way through devious and rugged paths, and jumping into a boat on the shore of an intervening river, he rows hurriedly across. Just in advance of his pursuers. He reaches his father's headquarters faint and wounded, but in time to give warning of the Union plan and give the boys in gray time to prepare to oppose the Federal attack.
