A lighthearted silent comedy about mountain folk outwitting federal agents, built on physical humor and the clash between rural independence and government authority.

A feud between the Owens and the Gillettes ends when the last remaining Gillette is killed, but new trouble erupts for the mountain folk with the arrival of a U.S. revenue agent and his assistant.
