Dolly, receiving attentions from Dan Riley, son of the Widow Riley, on whose house he has a mortgage. The squire has two horses. He entered the best in the Donnybrook Steeplechase, and feels that he will win the five hundred pounds offered as a prize. The squire, angered by the continued attentions of Dan to Dolly, threatens to foreclose the mortgage and force Dan to go to America. Dolly and Dan, who are compelled to meet clandestinely, conceive a plan to beat father. Dolly, who is the only one who can do anything with Satan, the squire's best bet, takes the horse out and teaches him to walk lame. The squire is compelled to leave the horse behind, fearing he would not be able to go in the race. The day of the big steeplechase arrives and a "dark horse" is entered by Danny Riley, with a clever little jockey. Danny easily wins the prize. The old squire sends a note to Dan, offering him two thousand pounds for his horse if he can get the jockey to ride him. Dan calls on the squire, gives him a bill of sale for the horse, and tells him the jockey will call on him later. The surprise of the squire can be imagined when Dolly calls on him and tells him that she was the jockey. Another surprise comes to him when his stable boy calls him to come to the stable and see what peculiar spots the new horse has. Dolly neglected to use fast dye and Satan loses his title as Masquerader. Realizing that he has been outdone by Danny and Dolly, the squire tells Danny that he's a great painter, but if he ever gives his filly cause for regret, he'll paint his eye a fast color.
