Stark, a man of the Kentucky hills, believes it is unjust that he should be obliged to pay toll while Judge Randolph, the owner of the road, rides free. He therefore succeeds in arousing the people of his community to such an extent that the judge is petitioned to sell his road. Randolph, however, refuses to consider the proposition. A band of toll gate raiders is organized by Stark and a notice is placed on the toll house, warning the judge that unless he sells, the house will be burned down. Millie Brant, the daughter of the toll gate keeper, is taken ill and Charlotte, the judge's daughter, comes to spend the night with her, as Brant has been called to town. That night the raiders set fire to the house and the two girls are rescued by Charlotte's sweetheart, James Staunton. The judge, realizing that the community is against him, agrees to sell the road to the county.
