Synopsis
Jockey Johnny Jones rides Yankee, Ed Baker's racehorse, to victory at the Meadowbrook race, thereby attracting the attention of Sam Johnson, a stable owner, who takes Johnny to New York to race. Mary, Johnny's sweetheart, fondly bids him farewell, but he soon consorts with Vivian Dale, a Broadway actress, with whom he falls in love. Johnny becomes noted for his rendition of "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" at clubs, but he turns down an offer to go into show business. Mary and her father arrive to enter Yankee in a race, and Mary learns about Vivian, who tries to no avail to get Johnny to agree to throw the race. But when he is pocketed and his horse does lose, a telegram from Vivian causes him to be unjustly accused. Johnny goes to England, where he works in a Limehouse pub; and upon meeting Ed, he is given a chance to ride Yankee at Epsom Downs. He wins the race and Mary's love.
