Casga is a moonshiner's daughter, and sees nothing wrong in making whiskey in your own still. Clem Wytall, the owner of the dance-hall in town, realizes that she is grown up when he comes to get a supply of the illicit liquor for his place. Casga repulses him. Revenue officers attack the moonshiners, and her father is shot. She continues to run the still herself. One day Clem brings her a pretty frock to wear and invites her to come to the dance hall. She is delighted and goes. Howard Pike, revenue officer, is visiting the dance hall. He sees Casga, and admires her wild beauty. Clem introduces her, but she is very shy. When he tries to kiss her, she runs home. Howard Pike, investigating in the mountains, is joined by his fiancée and her father. Casga sees them in the distance and is jealous of the pretty, well-dressed girl. Later their auto frightens her horse and she is thrown and hurt. Rose is fascinated by the wild charm of the mountain girl, and takes her home with her. In confidence Rose tells Casga that her father wants her to marry Howard, but that she loves someone else. Casga is introduced to Rose's friends at a dance, but she does not acquit herself well. She tries to dance and loses her slippers. The people laugh at her, and Pike says: "I can't understand Rose bringing a wild thing like you here." Casga is terribly hurt. She runs away to her room, puts on her tattered frock, and leaves the pretty clothes Rose has given her. She writes a note saying that she cannot stay. Clem has been slinking around the house watching for her. He follows her to her cabin, and she shoots him in the hand. He determines on a coward's revenge. Meeting Pike, he informs him that there is an illicit still in the place, and shows him where it is. In going to investigate, Pike is struck by a rattlesnake. Casga hears his cry for help. She shoots the snake, and helps Howard to her cabin, where she takes care of him, giving him the prohibited whiskey to save his life. She has no idea that he is a revenue officer. Clem comes in while Pike is there. He tells him that Casga is the owner of the still that he is looking for. Casga drives him away from the cabin, and getting Pike on a horse, takes him to the nearest doctor. In the meantime Rose has eloped with the man she loves, and telephoned to ask her father's forgiveness. Casga tenderly nurses Howard back to health, and when he is well, they break up the still and pour out the whiskey.
