Synopsis
Jockey John Hope is set up by his adversaries and disqualified from a county fair because his horse is found to be drugged. John and his trainer Whitey travel cross-country, hoping to find another county fair in which to compete. Along a dirt road they see young Buddy Williams riding a beautiful horse named Rainbow, and his sister Julie standing by a haystack timing him. John and Whitey work as hired hands for Calvin Williams, Buddy and Julie's father. Unknown to their stern and unforgiving father, they are planning to race Rainbow in their county fair. Turner and Snipe, John's adversaries, show up in the same town and kidnap John, Whitey, Buddy and Rainbow. In the middle of the night Buddy escapes and John makes a deal with Turner to race for him if Turner will give him the horse. John sneaks into the Williams ranch at night and explains everything to Buddy and Julie, making clear that he has no intention of racing for Turner. Calvin Williams bursts in, and finding them plotting to race his horse, becomes furious and hits Julie. John tells Mr. Williams that he intends to marry Julie and race the horse. When he tries to leave, Calvin shoots him in the arm. Turner then leaves town and Julie nurses John. At the fair, Buddy rides Rainbow and wins the race and Turner gets caught by the commissioner. Calvin undergoes a change of heart and congratulates Buddy, and John and Julie marry.

Notes
Copyright records include a letter from C. A. Woodson, booker for Monogram Pictures Corp., to the Registrar of Copyright. The letter informs the registrar that although the title card of the film incorrectly lists the owner as Crescent Pictures Corporation, the correct owner is Monogram Pictures Corporation, and that the error was made by Monogram's New York office. The print viewed included the Crescent Pictures Corp. credit. Another credit in copyright records lists Scott R. Dunlap as Vice President in charge of production. Publicity in the pressbook notes that scenes of county fairs were filmed from actual fairs from across the country. Some reviews call the film Country Fair.
