A young girl, Anemone (Mary Pickford), who lives with her Aunt (Ida Waterman), is abducted by a crude family of Virginia mountain moonshiners. A fight between two of the young male relatives decides who will marry the girl. Lancer (James Kirkwood) is the winner and marries Anemone against her will. She is reunited some time later with her Aunt, but when she learns Lancer is in dire trouble, she returns and stays by his side, realizing she had always been in love with him.
