Ireland serves as the background for this story of a reckless young baron, Morgan, who loses his ancestral home and lands at the gambling table. The new owner's daughter, Cummins, an American, mistakes Morgan for a horse groom, and keeps him on in that position. A romance between the two
begins to develop, set against the breeding of a young colt given to the boy by his aunt. The colt grows up to be an ace racing horse, winning the Derby. The CinemaScope photography creates a postcard impression of the Irish countryside. The cast exhibits a wide range of personalities, handled
well through the direction.
