This installment follows the character Si Klegg and his partner Shorty during their experiences in the Civil War, highlighting themes of camaraderie, survival, and resourcefulness amid the backdrop of battle and hardship. The narrative centers around the Deacon, Si's father, who navigates the challenges of caring for Si and Shorty while also facing the trials of scarcity and danger in a war-torn environment. The opening of the story introduces the Deacon's frantic yet determined efforts to provide nourishment for his wounded son Si and his friend Shorty in a hospital in Chattanooga.

His escapades are filled with humor and tension, showcasing his struggles to balance morals and survival instincts in the face of war.
