"High-spirited daughter of Louisville gentleman with gray moustache and imperiale married 'Devil Dan' against her father's wishes and Dan is killed by a moonshiner. Young wife is seen on her deathbed, unforgiven by irate father. She gives villainous attorney 'the papers' and her seven-year-old daughter. He steals the fortune and takes the child to the moonshiner's hut. Ten years pass. Child is young girl, uncouth and unkempt, but buxom. Dashing young revenue officer appears. She saves his life and escapes disguised as a boy. Young revenue officer visits girl's grandfather (son of his old schoolmate stuff). They walk on street and find girl as newsboy in a fight. They take her home, old colonel wants to adopt her. She explores garret in colonial home, finds crinoline dress her mother wore, dons it, old colonel sees resemblance to his daughter, cries 'My search for my granddaughter has ended.' Villainous lawyer and moonshiner kidnap girl. ... Young revenue officer to the rescue, villain-lawyer (who turns out to be hero's uncle) is shot in the melee, confesses and the clinch is finally arrived at." ( Variety, 22 Jul 1921, p36.)
