Only a brilliant exploit will save him. Your loving brother." Undine, a strong patriot and naturally tender-hearted, realizes the predicament of her brother's friend and determines to save him. The next day she forms a plan to destroy a Federal gun-boat anchored in the river and presents her idea to Ned. That night at the risk of her life she swims to the gun-boat, reconnoiters and makes it possible for Ned to lead a company of Confederates, who succeed in destroying the gun-boat after a spectacular attack. Two days later Ned is reinstated in the good graces of his commanding officer and, realizing his present good fortune is all due to the heroic action of his old chum's sister, he promptly proceeds to lose his heart to the fair water witch.
