A Girl and a Spy (1911)

The old general, the girl's father, is in the foreground where he had just been carried, wounded, by his men. In the background a battle is raging with powder and ball, while the hand-to-hand conflict between those two bitter rivals is taking place, with the girl and the general looking on. The hero is a spy, forced to be such by his superior officer. In Confederate garb, he meets and falls in love with a fair daughter of the South. In a certain battle or skirmish, he refuses to fire on his own people, and she, not knowing that he is a Federal, thinks him a coward and thus despises him. From the moment he fell in love with the maiden, he had decided not to perform his despicable task, but to get back to his own side as soon as possible, that is, to do only the duties which fall to a soldier's lot. His rival for the girl's hand has tried in various ways to be revenged for being ousted from his position as cavalier to the young lady, but without success.
