The Kid, whom Ma has befriended in his frequent poverty-stricken periods, plots with his pal, Henry, to save some of the old woman's money. After much persuasion, the Kid cajoles the Jockey Club stewards into reviving the long-obsolete two-and-one-half-mile event. He does this on the chance that Ma's horse, Tarcutta - an Australian horse, best at long distances - may win the purse. Just before the race. Ma's hot dog stand is attached by the sheriff. Tarcutta, after a grueling race, romps in ahead of the favorite. Having bet their last few hundred dollars on Tarcutta, Ma and her friends mop up on a 15-to-1 shot.
