The Pauline Cushman Players are performing for wounded soldiers at a US military hospital. Pauline, a spy who works for Allen Pinkerton, persuades Gail to become a spy for the Union cause as Operator 13. Gail, disguised in blackface, accompanies Pauline as her octaroon black maid. While washing General Stuart’s clothes, she hears he will attend a ball that night. At the ball, Captain Gailliard suspects that Pauline is a spy and finds evidence in her room. Pauline, trying to flee, is arrested and is to be a witness against Gail, who is later sentenced to death. Both women manage to escape and return to the Union lines. Pinkerton decides to use Gail to trap Gailliard, and as part of the plan, she jeers at a parade of Union soldiers and is thought to be a heroine in the southern newspapers. Gail, as Anne Claibourne, is pardoned by Lincoln and heads south, where Captain Gailliard is attracted to her. However, Gail is later told by Stuart’s groom, a fellow spy, that she is known to be a spy and she flees in a Confederate uniform. Gailliard cannot believe she is a spy and finds her, but she strikes him with a gun and rides off. Others start in pursuit. She and the groom hide in a farm house. When Gailliard finds her, she pours out her love for him. A group of Union soldiers pass by and the groom rushes out to them, forgetting he is wearing a Confederate uniform, and is shot down. The two hide in a well as the farm house is searched. They later part, and she watches as he heads southwards back to his own lines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operator 13」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
