Plot

Virgie (Temple) and her father, Confederate Army captain Herbert Cary (Boles) are a slaveowning family in the Antebellum South. During her sixth birthday party, Cary learns that the American Civil War has begun and that he must immediately report for duty, leaving Virgie at home. Worried about her father, Virgie asks her slave, Uncle Billy (Robinson), about the war, and he tells her that he has heard that a man up North wants to free the slaves, but that he does not know what that will mean.
