A new colt is born on the plantation which Fern names Redbird, and the Colonel has the pedigree certificate made out under that title. Chick Mace and Ray Connors come to Dinwidty 's looking up race horses. Happening to see Redbird's certificate they secretly make note of it. Two years later, the Colonel has paid poker debts with everything he owns, except Redbird. He decides to make his last bet on the two-year old's first race, and writes Philip Pierpont for a loan of $100,000, promising that he will give him the horse, win or lose. Pierpont, who is in love with Fern, sends the Colonel the money. Chick Mace and Ray Connors have covered most of the $100,000. Knowing Redbird's pedigree they realize that their only chance of winning the money is to make the animal "logie," so that night they put doped grain into her manger. Pierpont, however, has followed them. He removes the grain the conspirators being none the wiser. The next day the Colonel's colored jockey is hurt and unable to enter the race. The start is to be called in fifteen minutes. Fern, who is the only other person who thoroughly understands Redbird, hurries into a jockey costume and rides her father's horse to victory. Faithful to his promise, the Colonel offers Redbird to Pierpont, who replies, "It is not Redbird I want, but your little jockey." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
