He escapes and manages to get into his home, which is surrounded by Union soldiers. His son Bobbie dons the clothes of the son of the colored servant, Mammy, which are rather ragged, and applies for a position as drummer boy in the Union ranks. He is accepted and given a suit of Union clothes too large for him. He manages to get into the house to his father, who quickly puts on his son's regimentals, then leaves the house as a Union soldier. Back with his regiment again, he relates his experience to his comrades, who immediately appoint Bobbie as one of their drummer boys. After the war, Bobbie and his father return home, where they are greeted warmly by all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
