- StarsRiley HatchSherman BainbridgeCliff BaldwinDuring a temporary cessation of hostilities below the Mason-Dixon line, Col. Carlton is granted leave of absence, and accompanied by Lieut. Carney, his daughter's sweetheart, visits his Southern home. There Lieut. Carney is honored by Virginia Carleton, accepting his proposal of marriage. At the expiration of their furlough, the lieutenant and the colonel leave to rejoin their regiment. Strife of war dangerously adjacent prevents the making of a trip by the Carltons to get a new wedding outfit, with the result that the mother unpacks the attic trunk and her own wedding gown undergoes alterations for the happy occasion of her daughter's marriage. Meanwhile, the opposing armies draw nearer and Grant's force is discovered by the Confederates to be in a weak condition. To enable the strategic maneuver of the Confederates taking advantage of this position of the Federals, Lieut. Carney voluntarily assumes the perilous responsibility of slipping through the Federal lines to warn other Confederates of the contemplated attack, likewise securing their reinforcement. This plan of Lieut. Carney's is thwarted at a crucial period by the Federals detecting his effort to get through their lines. Carney's horse is shot and he is compelled to seek safety in flight. The chase ends with Lieut. Carney fleeing to the home of his sweetheart, hotly pursued by the determined Federals, who suspect he hears important dispatches bearing on the hazardous position of their division. When Carney breaks into the house, Virginia and her mother are draping the wedding dress on an improvised "form" beneath which Carney is hidden as the Federals enter. Driven to desperation, Virginia is compelled to play the part of an obliging hostess to gain time. The tired Federals succumb to her charms and she is enabled to gain time to assist Carney in escaping. The officer of the squad becomes intoxicated, and Virginia, with the assistance of Carney and two family slaves, has his uniform changed to that of Carney's, and the Federal, in Confederate uniform, is put on a wagon and sent away in apparent flight, which is detected by the Federals, who give chase. Carney then escapes. With the help of the passport which he finds in the coat of the Federal officer, Carney delivers his message in safety, enabling the Confederates to accomplish their purpose. This advantage is later turned in the opposing army's favor, and the Confederates are forced into the "Hornet's Nest," where lack of water aids in weakening their opposition. Virginia's horse, ridden by Carney, is sent with a note asking for water, and Virginia accomplishes the perilous feat of carrying through the fighting lines of the Federals enough water to enable the hard-pressed Confederates to hold their ground until the Federals, in command of Gen. Grant, decide to abandon trying to gain their place of retreat. Virginia is acclaimed a heroine by the cheering army of Confederates, and she flies, embarrassed, to the eagerly waiting arms of Lieut. Carney.

His hot blood knows no check, and he woos Margaret so passionately that her father interferes and orders him from the house. Alvarez, meanwhile, has an affair with Lilita, a notorious woman known as "The Firefly of the Philippines." On his final dismissal by Margaret and her father, Alvarez goes to visit Lilita, and becomes incensed upon finding another there usurping his place. He accidentally drops a photograph of Margaret, which he had stolen from her father before her arrival at the Islands. Lilita finds it. A quarrel ensues and Alvarez leaves her. Lilita, however, manages to retain the photograph and vows vengeance against Margaret and Alvarez. She plots to have Marshall and his daughter kidnapped and given over to the savage Igorrotes. She secures the services of some Filipinos, and pays them to carry out her plans.

Arriving in San Mateo, Luzon, the troops have a severe struggle with the natives and Jack is wounded in a street battle and carried into the house of Lilita. The sergeant forces Lilita, at the point of a gun, to administer to Jack. Jack's wound being slight, he soon recovers and is horrified to see Margaret's picture on the mantel. Upon inquiry he learns from Lilita a false story of Margaret's death, and is overcome by the news. The battle in the street is still raging, and Lilita manages to escape and goes out for assistance. During her absence the Mateza servant tells Jack the truth concerning Margaret and her father, but is unable to tell him their hiding place. When Lilita returns with a number of Insurrectos, Jack and the sergeant fight their way to the stairway. The Mateza servant rushes from the house, and getting some of the American troops, leads them to Jack's rescue. Jack again joins his own troop in repulsing Aguinaldo, and during the skirmish a shell explodes on the porch of Lilita's home, wrecking the house and killing her. The Americans successfully rout the Insurrectos, when news is brought to Jack by a scout that Alvarez had taken Margaret and her father to the Igorrote village. Jack and his regiment immediately set out to rescue them. Meanwhile, amid scenes of horror, Margaret and her father are held prisoners. Alvarez shows his depravity and demands her promise of marriage as the price of liberty. Margaret refuses, in spite of his threats. Jack and his regiment surprise a detachment of Insurrectos advancing to reinforce Aguinaldo, and a running fight ensues. The Insurrectos are driven back toward the Igorrote village. Alvarez is killed by the explosion of a shell, the Americans fire the village and rescue Margaret and her father, and a happy party wends its way toward San Mateo.

- DirectorOscar ApfelCecil B. DeMilleStarsEdward AbelesSessue HayakawaBetty SchadeTed Ewing, a young New Yorker, is the guardian of Nora Hildreth, with whom he is in love. He invests her fortune of $50,000 and an equal amount of his own money (constituting almost his entire property) in a stock exchange speculation. When this speculation apparently fails he seeks to reimburse the girl by taking out a life insurance policy in her favor and then killing himself. But, as the policy has a clause invalidating it in case of suicide, he has to arrange an "accidental death" for himself, and, to this end, enters into an arrangement with the chief of the S.S.S., a blackmailing society which has already threatened his life. The humorous complications really begin when it develops that the money has not been lost but doubled, so that Ted, instead of wishing to die, has every reason imaginable for wishing to live. It is, however, almost impossible to break his sworn pact with the S.S.S. and his own Japanese valet, to whom he gave the money to pay for his death, refuses to divert the money from the one use to which it has been pledged. The manner in which Ted manages to escape from his own plots against his own life, and the details of his romance with Nora form the concluding episodes of this highly amusing photodrama.

The romance progresses rapidly despite the hullabaloo raised by Demetra's father and by the Turk fiancé he is trying to force upon her; but the very thought of a girl, so highly educated, so gifted with needle and loom, so famously graceful as a dancer ending up in a harem instead of a respectable home, drives Bob Van Buren to desperation. At length he persuades Demetra to elope with him to America, where Demetra could be married at his mother's in New York. Getting wind of it, the malicious Osman hires a band of ruffians who make away with Bob Van Buren on the very eve of departure.

Osman pursues the little refugee, corners her in New York, and with oriental cunning sets a trap into which Demetra walks blindly. Having her in his toils again Osman summons a second Turkish priest and is just forcing Demetra to her knees before him when the door bursts open and in rushes Bob Van Buren, who had finally escaped the dungeon in Constantinople to which he had been consigned. He routes Osman and takes Demetra to his mother's. Mrs. Van Buren suggested that the lovers wait until September, but their hearts were set on June. And so, as you may very well imagine, June it was.
