The Patriot and the Spy is a 1915 American silent drama film, directed by Jack Harvey.
A young couple, Pietro (James Cruze) and Blanchette (Marguerite Snow), get married as a jilted suitor, Johannes (Alphonse Ethier) looks on, and bides his time while plotting revenge.
When Blanchette continues to reject his romantic overtures, Johannes convinces the enemy to raid the village.
During the struggle, the enemy troops mistake the outline in the couples home as Pietro, but it is actually Johannes, and he is shot dead.
Home troops arrive to save the village, and Pietro is honored as a true patriot.
