Eve is the rebellious one, chafing under the restrictions of her limited surroundings. Edith, the contented daughter, is happy and brave in following her duty to her father and her young sister. The father, notwithstanding the dangers of his calling, which make him an iron-willed, reckless man, is but putty in the hands of his two girls. Into this little home comes a young, unprincipled adventurer, who turns the head of little Eve, wins her love and for a time wrecks the family ties that have bound the three together. The adventurer learns that there is a reward offered for the father's arrest on the charge of illegal distilling. He induces Eve to get some money from the family hoard, and on the promise of marriage and the big city, she agrees to elope. The adventurer leaves to carry out these plans, which to him are only incidental, his real purpose being to notify the sheriff and secure the reward offered for the arrest of Eve's father. He accomplishes his design, is half thwarted by the other sister, who with her affianced husband carries off jugs of whiskey which constitute the only evidence that could convict the father. The arrest is made and Eve, too weak to resist the blandishment of the adventurer, runs away with him. A year passes. Eve is cast aside by her husband, the father is pardoned, and Edith is married to her mountaineer sweetheart. The father returns from prison and the outcast. Eve, comes back to the hills to beg forgiveness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
