An Idyll of the Hills is a 1915 American short silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush.
Two men are in love with her: Lafe Jameson (Lon Chaney), the leader of a feared gang of moonshiners, and Dick Massey (Millard K. Wilson), a handsome young man who longs for the opportunity to better himself.
Kate meets Frank Collins, a city man who is on vacation in the mountains, and she saves him from being bitten by a snake.
Not wishing to stir up any trouble, Frank Collins writes Lafe a letter stating that he has no interest whatsoever in the girl, and bluntly describes her as crude and ignorant.
Meanwhile, Lafe convinces his clan that Collins is a Tax Revenuer and has come there to collect evidence against their moonshining operation.
