Plot: A spirited drama of the track, featuring one of its most famous figures, Budd Doble, and several equine stars from his racing stables in California, has an interest strong in the past and telling in up-to-dateness. For play purposes it is assumed that evil days have fallen on the famous stock farm. Oliver, a rival, having secured a mortgage on the place. This canny individual offers to give up the paper for a certain likely two-year-old. As Doble has secured means to take care of the pressing interest, he declines the proposition. Crafty Oliver finally induces him to race the two-year-old against his own filly, the stakes to be the mortgage. This looks game and attracts Doble, but Oliver has a bad one up his sleeve and slips a bribe to have Doble's driver "throw the race." Oliver's son, who is in love with Doble's daughter, frustrates this villainy and wins the girl as handily as her father wins the race. So Doble gets an Oliver, from either viewpoint.
