The Revenue Man and the Girl review

A shared fondness for doves sparks an attraction between hillbilly moonshiner's daughter Dorothy West and the revenue man (Edwin August) out to break up her clan's moonshining operation in this movie from D.W. Griffith set amongst the hills of Kentucky. Griffith creates a fair amount of tension with this one - a scene in which half a dozen members of the clan emerge as one from the bushes is even quite chilling. The abrupt ending of the online print suggests some footage is missing.
