One of the horses proves to be an exceptionally fast racer, and Harry believes that he stands an excellent chance of winning the Harlow Handicap and retrieving his family's fortunes. George Carnes, an old trainer of Harry's father, and who is also very fond of Harry, with whose daughter Harry is in love, carefully looks after the horse. A bookmaker, Arthur Mower, pays attention to Mignon, Carnes' daughter, and when she repulses him he plans to prevent Harry's horse from winning the race, and thus at one stroke revenge himself upon Harry, Mignon and old Carnes. Two men in the pay of Mower try to dispose of the valuable horse, but are discovered by Carnes and Harry, who overpower them. The barn takes fire, but Harry and his trainer fight their way through the flames and bring out two horses, but neither is the favorite. The two men are so exhausted that they are incapable of further effort. Mignon arrives, rushes into the barn and brings the favorite out. The Harlow Handicap is held, and Harry's horse wins. Mower's confederates confess, and the bookmaker is arrested and sent to prison. Harry, his financial troubles ended, marries Mignon. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
