A lucky accident gives the young fellow his first chance and his career opens with very bright prospects. He is overjoyed when some months later he is given a chance to ride Sunbeam, the favorite in a forthcoming big race, but pitfalls are in his path, and Jim finally succumbs to the temptation of a bribe offered by Sam Marsh, a race track crook, to destroy all chances of Sunbeam winning. Kitty, however, who has been by accident or design close at hand, overhears the agreement, and, dauntless and prompt in action, she resolves to save Jim's honor and changes the horses in their stalls, so that when Jim comes to dope Sunbeam he operates, unknowingly, upon another horse. The great day arrives. Everyone is out to see the big race. Sunbeam is the favorite and great sums of money are put up on him and taken by Marsh. At the quarter, half and three-quarters another horse leads, but in the stretch Sunbeam comes to the front and romps in a winner by several lengths, to the mingled rage and mortification of the crooked bookmaker. In the evening a wordy war is waged between Jim and Marsh, but Kitty intervenes and explains the situation. Baffled. Marsh slinks away, while Jim, shamefaced and repentant, pleads with Kitty to marry him and help him to avoid future temptations, and she does. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
