Her pleas failing to move him, she submitted to captivity stoically, prophesying, "The time will come when you will beg mercy of me. May our God then protect you, for I shall then be pitiless." Apparently she was a false prophet, for love soon took the place of hatred and, over sacred fire, they vowed eternal devotion. During the Civil War, Ida, a beautiful Southern girl, was startled one evening by the sudden entrance into her house of Eric, a Northern spy. At the instant of their meeting, a mysterious attraction springs to life, to which they both nearly yield. Ida has the impression of having known him before, but in spite of her feelings, gives him mercilessly to die. Then the gate of the past opens for her, and she realized that the spy is her lover of ages past. Desperate at having given him to death, she hastens to rectify her error, and in a cryptic message given to Eric in a Bible, she prepares him for his escape that night. After Lee surrendered, we last see them living again the love of the past and gazing at the starlight which began its journey in the far-off days when they first loved.
