Living with her two brothers in the Kentucky hills, Doris Stevens meets Tom Rogers, a young surveyor, and both fall in love. Rogers is working with another surveyor, and their tent is pitched several miles up the river, and though Rogers often meets Doris, he has never visited her in her home and for that reason has never met her brothers. The two become engaged and it is with the intention of calling at Doris' home to meet her brothers when he receives a letter from his father to hurry home immediately, as his mother is very ill. Tom hastily pens a note and gives it to a boy, with an explanation to Doris regarding his hasty departure for the city. The boy loses the note and Doris, who has been worried about Tom's absence, confesses to her brothers her fears that Tom has deserted her. The brothers in a rage decide to find Tom and bring him back to Doris and force him to marry their sister. They arrive at the tent of the two surveyors and seeing Jackson, Tom's friend, think he is Tom and drag him unceremoniously back to their house, refusing to listen to any explanation from Jackson. However, Tom arrives on the scene, just in the nick of time, when explanations are made to the brothers, who apologize for their conduct.
