Rose is an ardent sympathizer of the Confederate cause, while Tom is a follower of the Union principles. Rose's father refuses to countenance Tom's suit and does not conceal his distaste for the young man. Just at this time news comes of the declaration of war. Tom goes north, enlists and is placed in command of a company of Union cavalry. Three years go by but Rose hears nothing from Tom, to whom she is still faithful. Tom receives an order directing him to burn all houses five miles south and to take particular care to destroy the home of the Confederate, James Neville, together with all personal property. This is exceedingly unpleasant to the soldier but his orders must be obeyed and they are carried out to the letter. Bill Wheeler, a worthless scamp, is attracted by Rose's charms and when the girl resents his advances, he joins a party of bushwhackers, who are nothing more than marauders. After the Union forces have destroyed the home of Col. Neville, the party of bushwhackers, headed by Wheeler, attempts to loot the outstanding buildings. The old colonel and his daughter take refuge in one of the negro cabins. Capt. Dean learns of their precarious situation and goes alone to their assistance. Rose's sister Nan manages to convey information to both the Confederate and Union forces regarding the danger which threatens her people who are being besieged by the bushwhackers. The Confederate and Union soldiers join hands under a flag of truce; the bushwhackers are captured and the defenders of the little cabin are relieved just as they are about to abandon hope.
