The story

thumb|right|150px|In addition to the events surrounding Kehler and Corner, the film outlines a history of tax resistance in the US, citing resistance from American colonists, Henry David Thoreau (pictured), and those who opposed the Vietnam War. An Act of Conscience documents the events that followed the US government's seizure of Kehler and Corner's house in Colrain. In July 1989, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) holds a public auction to sell the home, seeking to recover $27,000 in back taxes and interest.
