His son, Will, is in love with Peggy Baldwin, the daughter of his father's head groom. The Brandon family opposes the marriage on account of Peggy's low origin. One night, however, Will, finding his father in good spirits over the prospective winning of the race on the morrow, gives him a detailed account of Peggy's virtues. The story is interrupted by the entrance of a servant with a telegram for the father. "Ladybird in fine form. Looks sure winner." Brandon is so elated that he asks his son to make a wager staking his happiness on the outcome of the race. In the event of Ladybird's winning Will consents to give up the girl. Will finally consents to this believing his chances are as good as his father's. Later, however, he overhears Brandon tell his wife of the wager, and of the telegram, which makes his bet a sure one. Will becomes very angry at being tricked, and decides to turn the tables on the old folks. Will persuades Ted Baldwin, Ladybird's jockey to feign intoxication, knowing that with any other rider, Ladybird's chances are slim. He explains to Ted that his sister Peggy's happiness depends on Ladybird's losing, and as Ted idolizes his sister, he yields. It is within an hour of the race and Ladybird's owner is anxiously awaiting the coming of his jockey. Peggy has tried in vain to rouse Ted, and the situation is desperate. Peggy looks at Ted's new jockey suit, and decides to take his place. She has often ridden Ladybird and understands her. There is no time to lose, so Peggy hastily dresses, and gallops off to the racetrack. She arrives just in time to weigh in, mount Ladybird and ride up to the starting post. After an exciting race, Ladybird wins by a length and the crowd gathers around the winner and her jockey, but Peggy hastily dismounts and slips away. When out of sight, she sinks on a bench overcome by exhaustion. It is here that Brandon and his son, Will, find her. Brandon comes to congratulate the jockey and Will to demand an explanation of Ted's apparent betrayal. They are surprised to discover that Peggy was the rider. Explanations follow and the father is so tickled at his son's defeat in trying to foil him, and at Peggy's gameness in entering the race, that he consents to their marriage.
