The United States Revenue Department knows Hardy is at work, but finds it difficult to trap the wily moonshiner. Officer Lane is sent out to obtain the necessary evidence and to capture Hardy and his men. Arriving on the ground, the officer soon detects the trail, but is seen by a lookout and promptly shot. Hardy's daughter, Mary, while on an errand, discovers the wounded revenue officer and brings him to her home. As Lane convalesces, he falls in love with his rescuer, but is shocked to learn that the man he has been hunting is Mary's father. Having failed in his mission, Lane is discharged by his chief when he returns and another officer is sent to round up the lawbreakers. Smarting under the disgrace, Lane hastens to the mountains and induces the moonshiners to destroy their still and give up their illegal operations. When the officer arrives he concludes from the dismantled still that the moonshiners have left the country and carries that information to his superior. Lane determines to cast his lot with the mountaineers and wins the hand of Mary. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
