His son Howard, owns Queen Bee, whom father and son expect to retrieve the family fortune, as she is entered in the famous Latonia Derby. Young Howard has lost heavily on a previous race, and without his father's knowledge has given his note for $5,000 to Doc Martin, an unscrupulous poolroom owner doing business in Lexington, Kentucky. Martin, knowing Queen Bee's great value and thinking that if she were scratched, his own, Eagle, would win the Derby, induces young Howard to give him a mortgage on Queen Bee to secure the note. The day Howard is to ship his horse to Latonia, Martin forecloses. At this juncture. Howard's fiancée buys all interest in Queen Bee. Martin secures the assistance of a friend who endeavors to poison the animal in order to prevent her entry in the race. The plot is foiled by Howard, who is secretly watching his pet. The race is run. Queen Bee is victorious, and fortune again smiles on the Clews family. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
