Margie, orphaned and with only a horse for companionship, comes to town; Father Tom finds a home for her, and soon she and Tom fall in love. Mrs. Wellington, however, disapproves, and blames Father Tom, at the same time refusing to renew the mortgage she holds on his church. To obtain the church money, Bob and Margie plan to enter the horse in a race, and though Colby, the owner of a notorious roadhouse, steals the horse, Father Tom retrieves it in time for the race. When Dalton is unmasked as a masher, Mrs. Wellington forgives Bob and accepts Margie. Written by AFI See less
