Summary:
Chemist David Palmer (Dennis O'Keefe) has just returned to his hometown in Indiana and married socialite, Ruth Treadwell. He is also the owner of race horses. When he purchases Dan Patch, David knows he's gotten a one-of-a-kind trotter. Trainer Ben Lathrop, along with his daughter Cissy (Gail Russell) take good care of Dan Patch. Cissy has had a crush on David for a long time, but his marriage to Ruth has crushed her hopes. Nevertheless Ruth becomes increasingly frustrated with David's interest in horses and with his friendship with the trainer (and his daughter, Cissy).
