Plot[edit]
Set in the Kentucky mountains.[3] The Brockton family consider Little Smoky to be their mountain, but the government declares it to be a forest and game preserve. Forest ranger Bob Hayne is in love with Anne Brockton, but when he catches her father, Ed, poaching game he tries to arrest him. The two men fight, and Brockton is believed to have died. When bloodhounds are set on Bob’s trail Anne dresses in some of his clothing in an attempt to confuse the hounds following his scent. Anne finds her father alive in the forest ranger’s cabin.
Meanwhile Gita, a gypsy girl, is attacked by a renegade Indian. Anne’s brother Tom, who suffered shell-shock during the first World War, rescues Gita. The incident brings Tom back to his senses.
Ed Brockton becomes friends with Bob, and allows him to court Anne. Tom and Gita fall in love, and both couples look forward to a happy future.
