He leaves word at his departure that he will telegraph for them when the opportunity is ripe. Burying his telegraph instruments at the foot of a telegraph pole, he works on up the mountain. Red Dick, the old moonshiner's assistant, is in love with Mary, the old man's daughter. He presses his unwelcome attention upon Mary, and Jackson coming along, saves her. The old man, though suspicious at first, finally admits Jackson to his service as a lumberman, and Mary promptly gives him her heart. Jackson eventually discovers the still and while he is telegraphing his deputies he is captured. Mary learns of it, robs the men's guns of bullets, informs Jackson and, when he is supposedly shot, she is left to bury him. As she is untying his bonds, "Red" returns and, disgusted at her slowness, begins to bury Jackson himself. Mary, to gain time for the arrival of the deputies, leads "Red" to think that her love for him is real and, as he takes her in his arms, the deputies arrive, release Jackson and capture "Red." Mary, in the meantime, has run away unseen and warns her father and his helper. They escape and Mary, after leading the deputies on a false chase, goes to Jackson and makes known her love for him.
