A moonshiner's daughter can't never be a lady." Poor little Nan, the moonshiner's daughter, is of a romantic turn of mind, but she finds little outlet for her bent up emotion and ambitions in the lean hut and the narrow life she is forced to lead. One day Nan's father is brought home dead by Lark. Lark is in love with her and proposes. But Nan, with her dream of Prince Charming, refuses, though she admires the rough and honest fellow of the hills. Later, Nan meets and remembers a detective, sent to run down the gang. Time passes. Nan works the still herself in order to secure nice clothes. One day, when the snow is deep upon the ground, the detective staggers to Nan's cabin and begs shelter. Nan recognizes him and takes him in. Lark has heard that a revenue officer is in the hills and when he finds him at the cabin of Nan, he is furious. Nan, learning, is about to shoot the officer, but cannot. Lark attempts it, but the girl drives him out at the point of her own gun. In time Nan, ashamed of her past life, burns the still. The officer asks her to marry him and she consents, happy in the probability of realizing her dreams. Written by
