Bartender Billy Holliday loses his job for refusing to supply drinks to minors at the behest of his employer. In the little country town where he has wandered in search of employment he finds two elements, one wet, the other dry. When he meets the daughter of the leader of the drys, he casts in his lot with them, and when the leader of the wet faction threatens vengeance, Billy is instantly on the job. At a meeting of prohibitionists, which the brewery element seeks to disrupt by the introduction of a number of roughnecks, Holliday takes the platform and nullifies their efforts with a fiery speech. He finally succeeds in putting the wet element out of business--and in winning the love of Edith Jason. He also becomes a power in the community.
