He sends Jim Canby, one of his operators, to gather sufficient evidence to convict them. Canby, posing as an unsophisticated city youth, buys a homestead in the village where he suspects the moonshiners are at work. There he meets and falls in love with Sallie Samson, a beautiful, but untutored, girl of the mountains. One of the daring band of moonshiners also is in love with her. The girl is torn with doubt as to which she loves best. The moonshiners try every ruse to drive Canby from the village, fearing that he may see and tell things, although they do not suspect that he is a government agent. Canby, however outwits them at every turn. Finally, grown desperate, they plot to kill him. Sallie overhears the plot and her heart then tells her it is Canby she loves and not the man who is plotting his death. She hurries to warn Canby of his danger. He and an assistant are attacked by the moonshiners and after a desperate battle, in which Canby is wounded, they capture the moonshiners and Canby learns that he has also captured a girl's heart.
