Union soldiers in search of food descend on the farm of a Confederate family and decide to stay until one in their ranks' wounds have healed. While the war weary Union captain falls for the mother of the family - whose husband is off fighting for the rebels - her son plots revenge on the dirty, double-dealing Yankees.
