The Guerrilla

(1908)

Overview

Set during the American Civil War, the film focuses on a group of deserters and renegades who disguise themselves in Confederate uniforms to steal supplies and pillage nearby homes in the countryside. Meanwhile, a Confederate soldier named Jack has to leave his sweetheart, Dorothy, to join the fighting. While Jack is away, a malicious, drunken guerrilla (a rogue intruder) discovers Dorothy alone at home and forces his way inside. Dorothy manages to hide in a room, desperately barricading herself as the intruder tries to break through the door. She frantically signals for help. Jack, having learned of the raid, races back on horseback.
