To a moonshine district in the mountains comes Jane A. Bixby, M.D. The advent of Jane causes considerable comment among the inhabitants of the locality, who without exception laugh at the very idea of "a woman doctor." But the majority of the men admire her charms, especially one Bill Jenkins, who plans to form her acquaintance. Joe Buford is also one who ridicules Jane's claims to medical ability. He has a little sister who is taken suddenly and seriously ill and all home remedies failing he is compelled to carry her to Jane. Jane treats the little girl's case wisely and quickly, and she is soon on the short road to recovery. Jane makes a wonderful impression upon Buford and, when he discovers Bill Jenkins trying to form her acquaintance by a pretense of an injured hand, he rescues her from his unwelcome attentions. Later feeling under great obligations to Jane, he presents her with a jug of moonshine whiskey made in his own still. The newly-appointed U.S. Marshal, Calvin Doane, comes to Jane's office and in a joking manner points to the jug of whiskey and then discovers it to be the product of an illicit still. He immediately starts out with his deputies to arrest Buford and destroy the still. Buford jumps down the side of a cliff and swims a river in his attempt to escape and finally arrives at Jane's office with a broken arm. Just as Jane has completed dressing his arm, Doane Jane arrives and Jane conceals Buford. The latter, however is very bitter over being hounded by Doane and comes out of his hiding place with the intention of killing Doane. Jane then makes him give up his revolver. Doane then starts to place the handcuffs on Buford, but Jane finally persuades him to allow Buford one more chance. Doane then leaves and Buford tells Jane that for her sake he will give up his lawless life and become a better man.
