Lee Russell, a young business man, leaves the city for a vacation sojourn in the mountains. Jeff Smith and Joe Butler run a moonshine still in the mountains and Jeff is in love with Butler's daughter, Rose, but the love is not returned. Lee Russell, seen near the still by Jeff and Butler, is shot by Jeff and wounded. Under Rose's care Lee fully recovers from his wound, and learns to love Rose. Jeff sees Lee kiss Rose, and in a rage tries to shoot him, but Rose knocks the gun aside, and the men start fighting. Revenue officers, who have a warrant for Jeff's arrest, hear the noise of the fight, rush in and capture Jeff.
