He comes in contact with Molly, the daughter of Jed Simms, a moonshiner. Molly falls in love with Harlow. He is already married, but is desirous of amusing himself with the innocent mountain girl. One day while making a survey, he comes to the secret still of Jed Simms, and only saves his life by convincing Simms that he is the engineer in charge of the railroad work and not a revenue officer. Simms allows him to depart. Shortly afterward the girl, Molly, discovers that her intimacy with Harlow has been followed by results which make an immediate marriage necessary if she is to save her good name. Harlow, of course, cannot marry her and in order to avoid the rage of Jed Simms reveals his hiding place to the revenue officers. After an exciting scene, Simms escapes and takes refuge in the cabin of Harlow by accident. Harlow returns and is met by the revenue officers who make a search of his cabin but fail to discover Simms, who is in the chimney. At this juncture Molly enters to present a final plea for marriage. Harlow treats her with brutal cynicism. Her father in the chimney overhears this, comes out and is only prevented from taking Harlow's life by the importunities of his daughter. Harlow makes a hurried exit from the cabin, only to be killed by the revenue officers who have seen Molly enter, they mistaking Harlow for Simms. Simms and his daughter escape and the old moonshiner makes for cover as the officers remove the lifeless form of John Harlow. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
