It is bound to please

Many happenings of lively interest, all of them within the limits of human possibility, have been combined in this two-reeler in such an artistic manner that it is bound to please. A young minister who knows how to fight as well as how to preach is the hero of the yarn. There are moonshining incidents and a very realistic scene of a near-lynching. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914

The Rev. Edward Seymour opens a mission in the village of Bald Mountain among the Kentucky hills. He takes Jim Hopkins home one evening when he finds him intoxicated. Here he meets Nan Hopkins, with whom he falls in love and later they become engaged, much to the disappointment of Bill Willis, a ne'er do well, who is also a suitor of Nan's. Through the minister's influence and Nan's, Jim Hopkins is induced to take the pledge to renounce drink and accent religion. Willis and Jim Hopkins quarrel because Hopkins favors the attentions of the minister to Nan and also refuses to drink with Willis. A fight follows in which Hopkins is killed. Willis hides and later the minister, coming home from a sick call, is found by Nan over her father's body. Willis says that he saw the minister strike Hopkins. He goes to the villagers and incites them to lynch the minister. Nan rides to the sheriff's office and they get back to the mob just in time to stop them from lynching the minister. Willis tries to get away, but one of the mountaineers shoot him. Dying, he confesses the murder of Jim Hopkins.
