The Revenue Man and His Girl
In the Kentucky backwoods, Dorothy West helps her moonshiner father take some jugs to his still; along the way, she meets dashing Edwin August. Ms. West and Mr. August are immediately attracted to each other -- but he is "The Revenue Man ", which means, of course, trouble for the moonshiners. After August begins arresting the bootleggers, citizens dependent on the alcohol trade take up arms against the man. Even West wields a rifle; when a loved one is shot, she wants to hunt down, and kill, revenue man August.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic love triangle against a backdrop of social conflict, relying on the stark contrast between personal desire and duty. It explores this tension through the clear, visual storytelling characteristic of early cinema.
What lingers after viewing is the tragic inevitability of a romance doomed by opposing sides of the law, where passion and principle become irreconcilable. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: D.W. Griffith
