Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] when Darrell Thornton rejects the attentions of her wealthy Northerner admirer, she learns that her sweetheart, a Southerner, is in danger of having his race horse attacked by the Sheriff for his debts. The Northerner is willing to keep the horse from being attacked and keep the Southerner from jail if Miss Thornton will be his bride. She makes the promise to marry the Northerner. However, after the race horse has been smuggled onto the race track and hitched to an ice cream truck, it wins the race, recovering enough prize money to stay the debts. Patricia is now free to reject her suitor and marry the Southerner.
