Bud Norris, a young cowboy on Triple Star Ranch, is very fond of fast horses, and finding a horse that pleases his fancy while at the races, he buys the animal and rides it home. On the way home he passes the home of Daisy Miller, his sweetheart, who lives with her aunt in the outskirts of the town. She greets him, and they are admiring the horse together, when Auntie appears and upbraids Bud for his fondness for racing and tells him never to call upon Daisy again. Auntie wants a horse of her own, a kind, gentle one. While in town she sees a mule hitched to an old buggy with a sign, "For Sale Cheap," attached to the shafts. She soon makes a bargain with the owner. She passes the general store where Bud, with some companions, are talking. Bud mounts his racer and starts to pursue Auntie, and overtaking her, her challenges her to a race. Auntie's sporting blood is aroused, and she whips up her mule. The race is on! Auntie stands up in the seat and urges her mule on, Bud racing close behind her. As Bud has intended, Auntie reaches her home neck and neck with his racer. Auntie is highly pleased, and removes her former objection to his calling upon Daisy. -Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911, p. 564.
It is likely that this film was done by American's Chicago "western" unit and not Allan Dwan's unit. It was a split reeler released with "Anne Harris in 'The Chicago Swimming Marathon".
