The old man becomes a shepherd for Old Matt Matthews, the girl's father. The shepherd's kindly influence and teachings are appreciated by the mountain folk, who stop moonshiners from killing him. Young Matt loves Samantha "Sammy" Lane, the town's belle, but she is engaged to Ollie Stewart, who has promised to take her to the city when he inherits his uncle's fortune. After Ollie goes there, Sammy has the shepherd teach her to be "a lady" for Ollie, but when Ollie returns, Sammy, now transformed, disapproves of the way he has changed. She sends him away and marries young Matt. Meanwhile, the shepherd finds his son dying in a cave. He had returned and found his lover dead, and stayed to be near his son, Little Pete. The shepherd persuades Old Matt to forgive his son before the son dies. Written by AFI See less
