Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine,[3] Richard Goodloe (Blue), son of a proud Southern widow (Gordon), has been released from prison where he served two years after being railroaded by another crook, and returns to his home in Kentucky. En route he meets his former sweetheart Virginia Sanders (Holmquist). His mother has entered their horse Dixie in the derby and the family fortune is at stake. In one of the fastest races ever run, Dixie wins. Mrs. Goodloe accepts the hand of Colonel Sanders (Currier), and, after "Con" Arnold (Carewe) is exposed as a criminal, Virginia declares her love for Richard.
