Jack Walton, a revenue officer, arrives and proves a friend in need. Mary is attracted by the stranger's attentions. Meanwhile the moonshiners see her talking to the stranger whom they believe is a revenue officer. They attack and bind him, and lock Mary in an adjoining room when she attempts to intercede for him. Jack begs for a chance, asking that he be allowed to fight a man out in the open. They scoff at him and begin to drink heavily. Doby, a friend, becomes suspicious and returns to town for help. Mary hears the men declare that they are going to lynch Jack. Her father, who attempts to interfere, is struck on the head with a pitcher. Then Doby "holds up" the men and frees Mary and Jack. They discover her father badly hurt and Jack rides across the hills for a doctor. She sees him attacked and successfully resist his pursuers. He returns with a doctor and determines, because Mary's father has been implicated, to forget his duty for once. The old man gives his daughter and Jack his blessing and declares his intention of having nothing more to do with the gang. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
