- Twin daughters were born to the wife of an army lieutenant. It chanced that the doctor who was called to attend the case was secretly the spy for a foreign government. The nurse was in league with him. They alone were present when the children came into the world, and before the mother had recovered from the anesthetic, the doctor and the nurse had successfully kidnapped one of the twins. A startling idea had prompted their act. Some twelve years later, they were able to put their scheme into practice. The spies, with their young charge, were sent to America to secure information concerning the country's defenses. They learned that the former lieutenant, now a colonel, the father of their ward, was in possession of the maps and plans they required. It was arranged that Marion should spy upon her own family. Her resemblance to the girl at the army post was explained to her as a mere coincidence. The wardrobe of Colonel Archer's daughter was skillfully copied, and one day, when Madeline left the house. Marlon slipped in, and passed herself off to her own father as her twin. When the officer was called out of the library, this clever young spy copied the plans of the fort, and made her escape. In a secluded corner of the grounds, however, she was seen by one of the officers, examining the plans. The outcome was that the colonel was accused of entrusting to his daughter, for delivery outside the fort, valuable government secrets. Meanwhile Marlon had discovered the real truth about her parentage and native land. At the point of a pistol she drove the two spies into the courtroom, where her stirring testimony cleared her father's name and restored her to her family.—Moving Picture World synopsis
