Synopsis
Gambler John Keefe kills Bob Barrington, who is visiting the West, and forges a bill of sale for Barrington's racing stables in Long Island. Keefe goes East, followed by the suspicious sheriff John Garrison, and both of them fall in love with Barrington's daughter Henrietta. During a tennis game, when a sheet of the stable's bill of sale drops from Garrison's pocket, Henrietta begins to distrust him. After an associate of Keefe's tries to steal the missing sheet, Henrietta accuses Garrison of being in league with Keefe. Garrison then tells her the truth. Keefe bribes the jockey of Wildfire, the crack filly in his stable, to throw an upcoming race, if the stable flag is raised. Henrietta learns this and races to lower the flag, as Keefe has convinced her sister's fiancé to bet a large sum on Wildfire. During her struggle with Keefe, she succeeds in pulling the flag down. Garrison thrashes Keefe as Wildfire wins. Henrietta then accepts Garrison's proposal.
