He played the ponies and his jockey's name was Dub L. Cross, and he lived up to it. On his farm was Jim Nastic, whom everybody ill-treated, including Reuben's daughter Eva. Jim hated Cross and planned to get him fired and ride in his place. So when it was time for the race, he sneaked into the paddock and hung a lot of weights under Reuben's horse's saddle. Jim revealed the deadly scheme he had put up on Cross to Reuben and got the job of riding the horse, as he had planned. But Cross was determined on revenge. He fixed the scales so that he could pull a string when Jim got on them, and then have him declared overweight. This plan he carried out just before the race so that Jim was disqualified. Eva offered to ride the horse to victory. Foiled, Cross still was determined on revenge. He found out the secret joint which Reuben was running for playing the ponies in defiance of the law. He hired a vampire to tamper with Reuben's honor and reveal the secret to the police. This she did. The police raided the place, but Reuben escaped. Cross escaped too, and there was a chase through the streets, Rueben in a Ford and the cops on bicycles. Numerous houses were torn down and many citizens maimed before the prey was caught.
