their cause. The opening of the novel introduces Captain Charles Montague and Lieutenant Arthur Melville, two young British officers, who find themselves captured by American soldiers. As they contemplate their situation and the impact of their capture, Chester and Marcel contrive a daring plan to disguise themselves in the uniforms of the captured officers and infiltrate the British lines.
