The only contestant they fear is Jim Penn, owned by their neighbor, Rollins, a banker. In the midst of Bob's birthday party, his father presents him with a check for $5,000. Shortly afterward Colonel Hopkins, on the verge of bankruptcy, appeals to Rollins for help. The banker tells him if he will consent to his daughter's marriage to him the money will be furnished. This offer is spurned with contempt and Rollins declares, "Our horses will both run in the sweepstakes. If mine wins I'll break you and your daughter will be glad to marry me." Shortly, a successful jockey promises to ride Kentucky Girl for the colonel. The banker, fearing defeat, tries to poison Kentucky Girl, but through the watchfulness of Shorty, his plans are frustrated and on the date of the race the colonel's horse wins the sweepstakes and the prize of $25,000.
