The future of John Bramber's famous racing stables rests precariously on the behavior of the Viola colt in his first race at Epsom. Will he prove ill-fated like the rest of the Viola progeny? Or will he take to racing as a duck takes to water? Bramber and his daughter Elizabeth watch anxiously while the horses are lined up. In a few moments the feud between the Bramber stables and the nearby Dangate establishment is fanned into flames.
