Sourmash's son and Bourbon's daughter are secretly engaged to be married. A revenue spy runs across Colonel Bourbon's still and reports the discovery to his superior, who starts with his men to the scene. Molly and Jimmie, at the still, are forced to hide in empty barrels when they see their infuriated fathers coming. Bourbon and Sourmash indulge in battle, during which the barrels start rolling down the mountainside. Barrels of liquor are upset, their contents flowing into the mountain stream. The revenue officers stop by the stream to rest, and soon find that the water of the stream is far more refreshing than expected. Bourbon and Sourmash continue their fight on the edge of a cliff. Both finally go over. They fall on the revenue men, who capture them. Molly and Jimmie roll into the scene in their barrels. Jimmie, putting the revenue men to rout, succeeds in ending the feud that existed between his father and Bourbon. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
