Synopsis

When Easter Hicks, a Kentucky mountain girl, becomes infatuated with Clayton, a civil engineer from the city, her father Pap Hicks vows to kill Clayton. Sherd Raines, a young mountaineer who loves Easter, prevails upon Pap to reconsider, but Sherd is finally overcome by jealousy and begins to mold a bullet to kill his rival. As he prepares the mold, Sherd hears a preacher's voice denounce him for his evil intentions and he spills the hot metal. Later, Easter confesses her love for Clayton and Sherd arranges for her wedding. At the gathering, Pap Hicks gets drunk and shoots at Clayton. Sherd shields the bridegroom but Easter interjects her body between the mountaineer and the bullet. In the process, Easter is wounded, and once she recovers, she realizes that she actually loves Sherd.
