A heartwarming, wonderful film detailing about Warner Baxter marrying the wrong sister, whose father runs the town by owning everything and being tyrannical to the bargain.

Not being able to tolerate his father-in-law's ways and dissatisfied with his life, Baxter walks out and begins to train a horse he has been working with. Myrna Loy is just wonderful as the sister he should have married, the only one still unmarried and we all know why.

She goes with him when his high class wife refuses to do so and by film's end, the two divorce.

The film deals with their trials and tribulations in getting the horse entered, paying off creditors, paying entrance fees, combating bad weather and a whole host of things while seeing that they were meant for each other.

There is comic relief showing how tips and widespread rumors lead to massive horse betting by the common folk.
