- DirectorFrank McDonaldStarsLeon WeaverFrank WeaverJune WeaverPeaceful Valley town-founder, Judge Abner Weaver is distressed when the townspeople begin gossiping and "bearing false witness'" against Mary Shoemaker , the community handy-woman, who is charged with having stolen fifty dollars from Widow Smithers , and he and his wife Elviry and brother Cicero stoutly defend Mary. The theft becomes a matter of community interest when a rumor is circulated that Hettie Huston , daughter of the local banker, August Houston, has stolen the money in order to buy an expensive evening gown with which to dazzle Tom Martel, a young lawyer whose legal education was sponsored by Judge Weaver, whose daughter Margaret is also in love with Tom, and the young lawyer is torn between the sophisticated attractions of Hettie and the simple charm of Margaret. In order to save his daughter's reputation, August Houston is eager to have Mary Shoemaker's guilt established and to induce her to quietly leave town. Judge Weaver (not on the bench)defends her so heatedly that Huston institutes a slander-suit against his old friend, charging him with having damaged Hettie's reputation. Margaret feels that inasmuch as her father has financed Tom's legal education, it is his duty to defend her father. But Tom is smitten with Hettie and proposes to her, and refuses to side against her in the trial. As the trial proceeds, it becomes apparent that all the witnesses are testifying against Judge Weaver because Huston and his bank hold notes and mortgages on their homes and businesses. Tom can stand it no longer and determines to defend the Judge, even though it may mean breaking his engagement to Hettie, no matter how smitten he may be. When it is suggested that Judge Weaver started the rumor against Hettie because his daughter was in love with Tom and jealous of Hettie, Tom puts Margaret on the stand and asks her to refute the statement. Margaret cannot swear, under oath, that she doesn't love Tom; and, as a result of her admission of love, the case is lost. But Huston magnanimously declines to accept from Judge Weaver the judgment the court has awarded him, on condition that Mary Shoemaker be sent out of town. Judge Weaver, knowing that Mary was not the one who stole the money, declines the offer. Meanwhile, a group of the town's riff-raff decide to take matter in their own hands and set fire to Mary's House. BUT, Mary is inside the house.

After one of his men, Bull Hymer, is wounded in an encounter with the hillbillies, Gerro decides to have Hymer confess to a murder for which Gerro had previously framed his rival, Cal Fullerton. Gerro wants to save Cal from the electric chair and induce him to work for the gang because he is from Pine Flats and is trusted by the locals. On the day Cal is released from jail, he is brought to the gang headquarters, where the scheme is explained to him by Carnie, Gerro's right-hand man, as Gerro does not want Cal to know that he is in charge. Cal suspects that someone else is running the gang but nonetheless agrees to talk to the moonshiners. Upon returning home, Cal goes to the tavern owned by Martin Jackson, and there is welcomed by his former friends, including Jackson's daughter Ellie, who is now a schoolteacher. Telling them that he wishes to start a business in Pine Flats, Cal settles in and then visits Jess Meekins, the influential leader of the moonshiners. Cal arranges with Meekins for the hillbillies to supply the gang with corn liquor, for which they will receive half of the profits. When Cal reports his progress to Carnie, however, he is dissatisfied with Carnie's proposal to give the hillbillies only fifty cents per gallon and demands to see the head man. Gerro, who has been listening in the next room, reveals himself and the enraged Cal kills him. Assuming control of the gang, Cal begins shipping the moonshine and romancing Ellie, who is unaware of his true business and is momentarily swayed by his talk of helping the local people. Her other suitor, undercover revenue officer Jim Rogers, finally convinces her that Cal is up to no good and will bring ruin to Pine Flats. Jim explains that the government turned a blind eye to the bootlegging while it was kept local, but now that the liquor is being widely distributed, the stills will be destroyed and the hillbillies driven from their homes. Ellie and Jim then explain the situation to Meekins, who has become fed up with Cal's increasing arrogance, and he agrees to stop supplying the gang. Hoping to round up the gang that evening, Jim plants federal agents at a dance being held at nearby Myrtle Grove, but Cal has his henchman Lefty follow Jim and learns that he is a revenue agent. After confronting Meekins, who tells him that he is getting too big for his size, Cal captures Jim and forces him to drive with the gang to Myrtle Grove. Meekins prepares his own men, and in the ensuing shootout, the federal agents and hillbillies apprehend the gang, while Jim shoots Cal. As Cal dies, he tells Meekins that he was right, and Jim walks off with Ellie.

Pepper is uncertain of Johnny's true character, however, and begins campaigning for McPhee's rival, Gildersleeve, whom she hopes to get elected and thereby nullify her promise to Johnny. The campaign progresses at a furious pace, but the candidates soon realize that they must obtain the support of rural Potts County in order to win. The candidates and their managers travel to Pottsville, the county seat, and arrive in the midst of the county fair celebrations. The local citizens, who abhor politicians, are much more interested in the fair and in the town belle, Lulubelle Tinkle, who is the girl friend of mayor and blacksmith Gunther Potts, than they are in the candidates. Desperate to win both the election and Pepper, Johnny hits upon the scheme to convince Lulubelle and the townsfolk that Lulubelle is McPhee's long-lost daughter, who was kidnapped by gypsies as an infant. The stunt backfires, however, for McPhee has been pontificating about the benefits of his bachelor status. Certain that he is going to lose the election, McPhee makes a deal with Cash Nichols, a tough gangster, who promises to give him a cut of the money he intends to bet on Gildersleeve's victory. McPhee's running mate, Cornelius Simpson, has dropped out of the race, and when Gunther decides to replace him, despite the trick Johnny played on Lulubelle, it suddenly appears as if McPhee will win. McPhee is flabbergasted when he does indeed win the election, and in order to avoid Nichols' vengeful goons, he slips out of town. After Gunther takes over as governor, he is reunited with Lulubelle and uses his new powers to ensure Potts County a new fairgrounds. Meanwhile, Pepper is finally convinced of Johnny's sincerity and agrees to marry him.
