Synopsis
Colonel O'Hara, "dashing young officer of Braddock's staff is aided to escape from the French by daughter of commandant whom he worships. When the positions are reversed and she is his prisoner of war she willingly consents to become his prisoner for life." (from MPN Booking Guide 12 Apr 1927.) "The costumes of the period offer a pleasing contrast to the interesting sequences ... in which are seen such historical figures as Washington and Braddock. The latter's disastrous defeat is the film's highlight and it is carried out with realism." (from MPN 8 Apr 1927)
