For the three Kopp sisters, Constance, Norma, and Fleurette, a trip to town has serious consequences after their buggy is struck by a vehicle driven by local silk factory owner Henry Kaufman. When Constance attempts to collect $50 from Kaufman to pay for the damages, the situation quickly escalates. Before long, the Kopp sister are receiving threats from Kaufman and his shady associates by "brick mail" (a brick thrown through their window) threatening to kidnap Fleurette. In addition to providing the Kopp sisters with surveillance and pistols, the local sheriff also enlists Constance's help in bringing the men involved to justice, a task few women would have dared in 1914.
