Peggy, the Moonshiner's Daughter (1911)

The Internal Revenue office having repeatedly failed to locate the moonshiner's still in the mountains, calls in a man from another district, who is unknown in the neighborhood. This duty falls on young Hatfield, who is sent into the mountains to locate the troublesome moonshiner. While wandering through the mountains Hatfield meets Peggy, the moonshiner's daughter. Two weeks later Hatfield and Peggy find themselves mutually attracted to each other. Peggy tells her father, Seth Hardy, of the stranger she has met and her father warns her to keep away from him. Hatfield eventually discovered Hardy's still and arranges to capture the moonshiner. Peggy by chance sees Hatfield's badge and learns that he is a revenue officer, but this information comes too late. When Hatfield learns that the moonshiner is the father of Peggy he personally captures Hardy and destroys the still. Then for love of Peggy Hatfield permits Hardy to escape and persuades him to give up the still for his daughter's sake.
