Jane, with tears in her eyes, tells Jasper that if he returns alive, he will find her waiting for him under the old oak tree. Jasper leaves for the front. Just before an important battle, Jasper's general receives a humorous note from a Confederate general who has surrounded him saying he expects to capture the camp the following day, when he will use the Federal general's standard for a table cloth. The Federal general chats with Jasper Wells, who is the standard bearer of his company, and tells him to keep an eye on his flag. Jasper promises to guard the flag with his life. His companions plot to hide the flag to give him a scare. Jasper determines to hide the flag in the hollow of an old tree and in doing so comes face to face with a Confederate spy. There is a terrific struggle. The spy manages to hit Jasper over the head with a revolver. Jasper falls unconscious. The spy strips him of his uniform, as he needs it to cross the enemy's line, leaving his own in its place. Jasper recovers to find that he has lost his memory. He dresses in the Confederate uniform and is found later by a searching party from his company. Evidence is found in the pocket of the uniform and all believe him a traitor, as he cannot explain what he has done with the flag. He is condemned to death, but before he is executed, the battle starts. The barn in which he is confined is blown up. The enemy, seeing him in a Confederate uniform, care for him and take him with them. At the close of the war, Jasper, still unaware of his identity, wanders on to the estate of Col. Mobray. He is looking for work. The Colonel, who turns out to be the spy who was responsible for Jasper's injury, gives Jasper work and cares for him. Later, they leave for the North together. They arrive in the village of Pleasanton on Memorial Day. Jasper, in company with the Colonel, sees the marching soldiers. The flag impresses him deeply. He follows the parade until it reaches the house where Jane, now grown old, resides, spending her time knitting under the old oak tree where she promised to meet her lover upon his return. Jason carries a flag in the parade. As he reaches the street in which is Jane's home, he sees her sitting under the tree, as ever, knitting. Recognizing her, his memory returns and he approaches her, being received with open arms. Jane assures him that she knew he would return and had resolved to wait until death. She had never believed he had been a traitor, as reported, and, as the story closes, the two lovers of long ago are fast in each other's embrace. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
