The Little Moonshiner (1912)
The moonshiner's two daughters, Sue, a child of five, and grown-up sister, Betty, have just brought their father his dinner, when the old man is taken suddenly ill. Little Sue runs for aid and soon returns with their neighbor, Clay Harvey. They help the moonshiner to his cabin, but ere the doctor can arrive, the two girls are left fatherless. Later in looking over her father's papers, Betty finds the following note: "To my dear Daughter: It is my wish that you continue to operate the still until your sister is old enough to care for herself. Your Father." The next morning Betty sends little Sue out with a jug to place it as a sign to the mountain folks that her father's business would be continued. Clay loves Betty and would like to tell her of his love, but fear that she may refuse him, makes him hold his peace. Chad, another admirer, sees the jug, and tries to persuade her to give up the still and marry him. Betty refuses, Chad grows angry and tries to force her consent until little Sue comes to her sister's aid, driving him from the place at the point of her rifle. Out of revenge he informs the revenue officers of the illicit still, then returns to the girl and tells her that his rival, Clay, has betrayed her to the revenue officers. Fearing her little sister might be taken from her, Betty at last promises Chad that she will marry him as soon as he destroys the still. Fortunately, the doctor has overheard Chad inform the revenue officers, and at once notified Clay, who with the doctor, hastens to the girls cabin, and after a hasty explanation Betty and Sue are whirled away to love and safety, while the revenue officers arrive in time to arrest Chad, whom they find destroying the still.
