Wild Honey Synopsis

Concerned that she will ruin the Rev. David Warwick's career by marrying him, actress Letty Noon accompanies her fiancé to the home of Pastor and Mrs. Holbrook to seek advice. In answer to their question, the old parson narrates the story of young Jim Brown, a minister who resolves to reform the rough miners in a small Western town. His strength and dedication deeply impress the townspeople, but his sermons seem to have little effect on "Wild Honey," a dance hall girl who resents his constant admonitions. Wild Honey secretly loves Rev. Brown, however, and after she impulsively kisses him, he forgets his preaching and thinks only of her. One of Wild Honey's jealous suitors frames the reverend for murder, but she clears his name and, later that night, tells the parson of her love. Hearing her declaration, another rejected suitor attempts to shoot Rev. Brown, but Wild Honey shields him and is seriously wounded. The reverend then takes her to another town, where they happily grow old together.
