Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Molly Boone’s father has been sent to prison for 20 years for alleged complicity in the killing of a revenue officer. Uriah Hudson, whom she secretly suspects of having a hand in sending her father to prison, is her persistent suitor. A new schoolteacher comes to the little Kentucky village and Molly, although a grown woman, becomes one of his pupils. Lawson Keene, the school teacher also becomes Molly's suitor, and Uriah, jealous of him, betrays him into the hands of the moonshiners, declaring that Keene is a revenue officer in disguise. Molly saves Lawson from death. It is proven that the teacher is not a revenue officer but a Pinkerton detective sent there to apprehend the murderer of the United States marshal.
