Synopsis
In the Cumberland Mountain country of Kentucky, "Devil" Judd Tolliver, an old moonshiner, cannot read but is brave in the face of danger. The sheriff thinks that Tolliver has a moonshine still in operation, but because he cannot find it, he calls in the Federal authorities to solve the problem. They send John Hale, a revenue officer, and he falls in love with Tolliver's daughter June. She and her "pappy" lure Hale to their cabin when June pretends to have wrenched her ankle, and they take Hale captive but he escapes. He leads the posse against the moonshiner's hiding place, then gains entrance to the cabin through the rear door. June points a gun at him but does not shoot him, although Hale later is wounded during a battle with the posse. Hale promises to let Tolliver go free if he will quit making moonshine, and all ends happily when Hale returns to marry June.
