Considering it a huge joke, Kaintucky Bill takes the oath of office. Bill is brought to the realization of his duty when the revenue officials remind him he has sworn to uphold the law. Despite the pleas of his sweetheart, Annie, daughter of old Zeb, a member of his gang. Bill decides to break up moonshining. Denouncing him for turning traitor to his friends. Annie hastens to the still. The band laughs at her story, but Kaintucky Bill arrives a few minutes later. Holding up the gang, he sets fire to the still. The moonshiners cower before Kaintucky's pistol. By a clever ruse, Annie disarms the'new sheriff. Requesting permission to reach for tobacco concealed in his shirt, Bill shoots the revolver from Annie's hand with a concealed pistol. Bill enters the burning still to get away from the band. While the moonshiners believe the man burned to death, the new sheriff escapes from the opposite side of the still. One of the band sees Kaintucky Bill return to his office. He sees the sheriff remove his badge of office and resign. The moonshiner hastens to the rendezvous where he reports Kaintucky Bill's actions. The news that her sweetheart has not perished fills Annie with joy. Thirsting for revenge, her father resolves to have his former chief's life. Annie warns Kaintucky Bill of his peril. The man informs her that he intends starting life anew elsewhere and bids her goodbye. Zeb, his rifle raised, aims at his foe's heart. The tears which rise to his sweetheart's eyes tell Bill she still loves him. He seizes her in his arms. Zeb slowly lowers his rifle and turns away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
