Synopsis
Conducteur de locomotives, Johnnie Gray habite à Marietta, en Géorgie. Il est fiancé à Annabelle Lee. La guerre de Sécession éclate : le père et le frère de la jeune fille sont incorporés. Pas Johnny, qu'on juge plus utile à son poste et qu'entache ainsi, aux yeux de tous et même de sa fiancée, un soupçon de couardise. Un jour, des soldats nordistes volent sa locomotive, la «Générale», et enlèvent dans la foulée sa fiancée, Annabelle Lee. De peur d'être définitivement pris pour un lâche, Johnnie s'en va-t-en guerre : il se lance seul à la poursuite des voleurs...
