6.7/10 by 3 users
Following the Swamp Fox's capture of Colonel Townes, General Cornwallis goes to the Videaux Plantation to recruit a new Tory leader--Mary's father. Videaux doesn't offer an answer immediately, and Mary pleads with Fran not to wage war against her father. Colonel Tarleton devises a plan to trap Marion--by having British troopers impersonate Patriots who wish to join his band of Freedom Fighters. But Francis sniffs out the plot, and leads the British through the swamp. In the ensuing battle, his followers defeat Tarleton soundly, forcing him to return to the Videaux Plantation. Marion elects to let him feel comfortable there, and the episode ends.
