Oliver Normand is in love with Dora Garrett, and purchases the very horse which his sweetheart's father had in mind. When Mr. Garrett learns this he is furious with Oliver and refuses most emphatically to allow him to marry his daughter. Dora thinks she can placate her father's wrath and tells Oliver to instruct his driver to lose the race. Pete, the driver, has a little winning of his own to do.
