- Juan Calero, defending his home against the invasion of two intoxicated Rurales, has been killed. In the time of this stress, Juan's daughter, Julia, is befriended by Inez Lopez, daughter of a wealthy neighbor. At the outbreak of the insurrection Julia sees her chance to he avenged. She begs to be allowed to join the Revolutionists and the oath of allegiance is administered. A few days later the Insurrectos learn that Captain Maderas, commanding the Government forces, is in the vicinity. He is captured by a squad of the Rebels and sentenced to be shot. Julia, having seen Inez, her benefactress, in Maderas's arms is wavering between her oath of allegiance and the debt of gratitude she owes. She communicates to Maderas in his cell the knowledge that she has extracted the bullets from the cartridges in the guns of the firing squad. Maderas plays his part well at the time of the execution, for as soon as the blank cartridges are fired he tumbles into the grave which has been dug for him. The grave is covered over, but after the soldiers have gone Julia uncovers it again and with Maderas makes her way to the Government camp to receive the thankful prayers of Inez and Maderas.—Moving Picture World synopsis
