The colonel prepares to join his regiment at the front. Before leaving he hides his wealth in an old well, giving Simon Boldt bonds to cover the mortgage which Boldt holds on the colonel's home. During a retreat, the colonel is cut off from his men and changes clothes with a Northern private, hoping to make his escape. The Northern private is found and buried as the colonel, while the colonel is wounded by an exploding shell, becoming almost an imbecile. He is discovered in a Southern prison by his faithful servant, Pete, and taken home to his daughter, who now that Boldt has foreclosed the mortgage, is forced to live with the negroes. Dr. Boyd is the chief surgeon of the Northerners that take the town in which the colonel lives. He operates upon the colonel and restores his reason. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
