Plot

In need of money, Myles Vanders returns to his old Virginia home, once a thriving horse farm that has fallen on hard times. Years have gone by but he still is subject to resentment of the community for Myles' father having scandalously run off with neighboring stable owner Davis Lockwood's wife.

Myles manages to persuade Lockwood to lend him $3,000 to train and enter his horse Skipper in an upcoming stakes race. Myles must put up his farm as collateral. Lockwood tells his daughters Linda and Joan not to associate with Myles or trust him. Linda says he should be given a fair chance, while Joan attracts a romantic interest from Myles.

A fire injures Myles's horse and all but ruins his chances for repaying his debt. Things get worse when Joan elopes with a wealthy man while Myles learns a servant of Lockwood's started the fire. A sympathetic Linda offers him her horse, Miss Richmond, to enter in the race. Myles does so, also marrying Linda to incur Lockwood's wrath. She leaves him when she sees this side of Myles, but he comes to his senses, wins her back and wins the race.

Cast
gollark: I'll think about this.
gollark: I explained this. Centre-justification trivially follows from the fact that the left and right must obviously now both agree on generic good.
gollark: If I were to be TRULY politics, it would probably be best to just vaguely connect these things to whatever modern right- and left-wing politics associate with good things and connect lol no generics with bad things.
gollark: And yet I SOMEWHAT COULD™ using a wikipedia article?
gollark: In C#.
