Toby, a peculiar young man, lives in a shack in the Kentucky hills, spending his days drinking moonshine and whittling toys for the local children. Fearful of his influence, the villagers revive an old Kentucky statute whereby Toby may be sold into servitude for a year. Virginia Dare, horrified by these proceedings, purchases Toby for one dollar and returns with him to her Uncle Poindexter's tobacco plantation.

En route to obtain medicine, Dink stabs a revenue officer with Toby's knife but confesses just before Toby is sentenced. Toby, at one time a lawyer, successfully defends Dink, after which a visiting judge proclaims Toby his son. Having regained his good name, Toby proposes to Virginia.
