Synopsis

Col. John Furth, a southern aristocrat and the owner of Blue Bird, a prize racehorse, borrows money from Clinton Harris--who wants to marry the colonel's daughter, Barbara--hoping to recoup the family fortune in an eastern derby. Jim Gray, a crooked trainer recommended by Harris, reports that Blue Bird is a killer and must be shot, but he is stopped in the act by Charlie Smith, a neighboring miner who loves Barbara. Charlie takes the horse to the mine he is working with his partner, Sourdough Jones. Two of Harris' men conspire with Sourdough to steal Charlie's claim, and Harris, threatening the colonel, forces Barbara to accept his marriage proposal. Charlie, however, stops the ceremony and exposes the villain. Sourdough clears the colonel's debts with Harris' own money, and the latter is evicted with a claim to a worthless mine.
