- During the American Revolution, a Hessian soldier is rejected by a young American girl. Embittered, he betrays her and the man she loves, a veteran of the battle for Lexington, and both die in a savage Indian attack in the Mohawk Valley.
- A romance founded on facts of history, and pictures. Jane McCrea, beloved by David Jones, who through a sense of loyalty to King George leaves the colonies to join the British army, placing Jane in charge of his friend, Aaron Knox. The story follows Jane from the first entrance of the British into Lexington during the campaigns of Ethen Allen, and on the field of Bunker Hill where she is taken prisoner. A Hessian, Count Von Meyer, furnishes the dark side of the story as he falls in love with Jane and is spurned for his improper advances. Jane is befriended at different times by both General Washington, of the American army, and General Howe, of the British army. The latter shows the spirit of a true English gentleman when he gives Jane a release from Boston and saves her from the unwelcome attentions of Von Meyer. The final scenes of the story are laid at Fort Edwards, New York, where Jane, despite the warning of Aaron Knox, tries to meet David when she learns he is with the British, and when crossing the lines, accidentally meets Von Meyer, who renews his suit and on her refusal allows her to fall into the hands of the Indians. David is also killed in his attempt to save Jane, and Aaron lives on through the years, faithful to the one love that filled his life. Throughout the story runs a vein of quaint comedy, furnished by one Billy Smith, a man, strong physically, but mentally weak, but who through his friendship for Jane proves a hero at the close of this dramatic picture.—Moving Picture World synopsis
