 Magnate J.C. Higgins has 4 daughters. Three have presented him with sons-in-law to run his various enterprises...but son-in-law Dan Brooks would rather race horses, and youngest daughter  Princess  Higgins is much fonder of him than his wife is. First Dan, and later Princess, run away from Higginsville, bent on running Dan s only asset, the horse Broadway Bill, in the Imperial Derby. Can they succeed before the creditors (and/or the gamblers) catch up with them? Will Dan ever realize that Princess loves him?
