The story focuses on the tobacco uprising in Kentucky, exploring themes of love, conflict, and adventure as characters navigate the tension between local farmers and the toll-gate system. The narrative centers on Sally Brown, a toll-gate keeper, her mother, and Milton Derr, her love interest, against a backdrop of civil unrest. The opening of the book introduces the daily life of a poor family living by a tollgate and hints at the larger issues at play with the mention of rising tensions over tolls and taxes. Sally's relationship with her mother reveals differing attitudes about potential suitors and survival, particularly regarding the Squire, who represents authority and potential security. As the story progresses, readers catch a glimpse of Milton Derr's evolving involvement with the Night Riders, a secret organization planning to challenge the power structure threatening their livelihoods. The stage is set for conflict as the characters grapple with personal desires and their roles in the social upheaval.
