Synopsis
John Porter, a southern horsebreeder, buys a filly named Dixie after she puts up a strong showing in a race, discovering later that the animal had been doped for the contest. Porter is paralyzed later from a fall from a horse, and his son, Alan, embezzles a sum of money from the bank in order to straighten out the family finances. George Mortimer, who is in love with Alan's sister, Alis, takes the blame for the crime and is discharged from his job. Alis enters Dixie in a race and, disguised as a boy, rides the horse to victory. Alis' father is cured by the excitement, Alan's accounts are balanced, and George looks forward to a life with Alis.
