Show moreActor Nelson Olmsted tells the story of a failed plot to free nearly 3,000 Confederate soldiers from a Union prison on Johnson's Island, Ohio, during the American Civil War. In the summer of 1864, Confederate sympathizers Charles Cole, Annie Davis, John Yates Beall, and Bennet Burleigh devised an elaborate plan to turn the tide of the war in the North. They would seize control of the Union gunboat Michigan, sail across Lake Erie, force the surrender of the Union guards stationed at the Johnson's Island prison, free the captive Confederate soldiers, and wreck havoc in Ohio. The plan was ultimately unsuccessful. The film uses illustrations and Olmsted's voice acting talents to recount the tale. Note: The statue featured in the film faces north, toward Canada, instead of south as stated by the narrator.
