In the town of Barton a wave of temperance enthusiasm sweeps up merchants, preachers and drinkers alike. Habberton follows reformers at white heat, the clash of business and philanthropy, a wet blanket or two and an astonished Virginian, as the town discovers that sober men make better customers. He insists his characters are drawn from real reformers.
