There is much objection to liquor being sold in Snakeville, and Sophie starts out to reform the town. With hatchet in hand, she compels the saloonkeepers to empty their stock in the gutter, which flows freely into the town's public well. It is strangely peculiar how everybody is seized with the desire for a drink of water. Many of the inhabitants who never would think of touching a drop of liquor, become excellent examples for a "wet" territory. There are many screamingly funny incidents in this production that are amusingly humorous.
