Madge Lee is Cameron's woman and assists him in all his deviltries. The Rev. Plante and his daughter, Cynthia, arrive to take charge of the parish, and on asking Cameron for the keys to the church, is refused until he introduces Cameron to Cynthia. Attracted by this unusual type of girl, Cameron decides to let the missionary stay at Lees Point and turns over the keys. Attendance is small at the church, however, and the minister is about to return whence he came, when Bill decides he is in love with Cynthia and calls upon her. The father refuses to let him even see his daughter on the grounds that he is not a Christian. Bill thinks the matter over, closes his saloon and forces all the inhabitants to go to church. He is then allowed to call upon the girl. Madge, in the meantime, seeing how matters are going, takes up with Bolton out of jealousy, and the two of them proceed to plunge deeper into the mire. Cameron proposes to Cynthia, but is rejected, and out of spite, reopens the saloon. In a few weeks things are as they were at the beginning. Then Cameron realizes that there was something in church besides the girl and decides that he really loves Madge. This decision made, he again closes his saloon, "does the right thing by Madge" and Lees Point "gets religion for keeps." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
