My Old Kentucky Home is a lost[1] 1922 American silent drama film directed by Ray C. Smallwood and starring Monte Blue, Julia Swayne Gordon, and Frank Currier.[2]

Plot

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.

gollark: Oh, solution: mount a railgun on your electric bike with its own low-capacity batteries, so when your motor's batteries are exhausted you can load them into the railgun (with the motor itself) and fire it to dispose of them.

gollark: They're still, like most things, situational.

gollark: Really, what we need is magic low-energy-use personal teleporters.

gollark: Except you're also now lugging around the weight of the batteries and motors.

gollark: Pedals are uncool.
